“Despite the author of this system not having the best digital etiquette/history, i choose to separate the art from the artist. The system works exactly as intended, and I have not had any issues with it so far :shrug:”
“Very useful on an ultrawide monitor, especially a larger one where a second monitor would be difficult. Lets you have a game in 4k on the left side of your screen and a 720p youtube video on the right without the top…”
“Fantastic must have tool. Not only to allow games to be played borderless, even if the native function does not exist, it also brings a ton of other features. My favorite is the auto mute when tabbing, exactly what I…”

“Every update literally makes this program worse.... Have taken a free working simple program monetized it and made it over complicated and worse in every way”
“I have been using this software for many years and it's been a useful lifesaver. One problem. There was a new Update and it contains actual Malware. As some of the other new reviews have stated, the location of the…”
“I have used this for nearly 7,500 hours, and the newest update is atrocious. Ruined a really simple program. Avoid Edit: I used AI to make my own app and it took like an hour, which does the same thing that this used to…”

“Was a long time user of the free version way back and I've been having issues with a game (Sythetik) and decided to give BG on steam here a shot. It's one of those games that always minimizes when you tab out.…”

It does work in terms of turning a windowed game into a borderless…”
— a player, Steam review · 8 hrs played“The open-source version had always served me well back when I was still using Windows, so I gladly bought this to show my support a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, some recent changes and decisions are more than questionable – so I'm glad I don't need it anymore.”
