Borderless Windowed Fix (HDR Fix)

Description

<h1>The fix is not applied until you load a save or join a server. It will not affect the main menu.</h1> <h1>If you want to run this mod and play on a server, the server needs to have this mod installed or whitelisted (It will not do anything on the server though)</h1> <h2>The issue</h2> <p>In windows specifically~</p> <p>When running the game without this mod, borderless windowed mode still includes the taskbar, which is annoying.<br /><br />This is the cause of the following issues on the issue tracker:<br /><a href="https://github.com/anegostudios/VintageStory-Issues/issues/6116">https://github.com/anegostudios/VintageStory-Issues/issues/6116</a><br /><a href="https://github.com/anegostudios/VintageStory-Issues/issues/2484">https://github.com/anegostudios/VintageStory-Issues/issues/2484</a></p> <h2>Why not just use fullscreen?</h2> <p>Fullscreen is not the expectation for modern games anymore. It can:<br />- Hamper performance.<br />- Prevent interaction with other programs.<br />- Cause crashing when alt-tabbing out.<br />- Prevent newer technologies such as HDR from working.</p> <h2>The fix</h2> <p>This mod runs as you load a save or load into a server and, if you are set to borderless windowed mode, resizes the window to match the monitor resolution.</p> <p>This only runs if you are in borderless windowed mode and are running Microsoft Windows.<br />If you do not meet the requirements, nothing is applied or changed.<br /><br />The fix will be automatically be reapplied if you change display mode, or change the monitor and the other monitor is using a different resolution.<br /><br />Basically, once in-game, it works as you'd expect.</p> <h2>Known Issues</h2> <ul> <li>Servers must also run this mod <ul> <li>This is a client-side <strong>code</strong> mod, so servers need to have it installed or whitelisted in order for you to pass the mod inspection.</li> <li>This is due to the way the game handles mods, and is intended to prevent cheating.</li> </ul> </li> <li>The mod only loads when you load into a save / join a server. <ul> <li>Mods are only applied once you know the mod configuration for a save or server, until then, no mods are loaded, so this fix is not applied.</li> </ul> </li> </ul>
