This script allows you to select the window from a list that you want to have as a borderless window that fills your screen. You could try this for a game that does not natively supports this function.
Note that some applications will override these settings.
$GWL_STYLE = -16 #normal styling
$WS_SYSMENU = 0x00080000 #window with no borders
