Borderless Fullscreen with Taskbar option

What the title says. Would be nice to have an option for Mabi to launch without a title bar and adjusting to the screen's size without hiding the taskbar.

I never use fullscreen in any games because alt-tabbing takes time, attention if you're swapping between more than just two windows and sometimes messes with the resolution of the whole PC. It also hides the taskbar so my only way of knowing if I have new DMs is to turn on notification sounds, which I've also had turned off for over a decade now in all of my PCs because I suffer from auditory sensory overload quite often.

Personal reasons aside, I also believe this would look more immersive than the current window mode, and would help players also prevent accidental resizing of the window at the worst moments. In general I see plenty of reasons why people would want this feature and no reasons why it shouldn't be an option.

    You mean like a "maximize" option for windowed mode?

    Not quite. A maximized window still has its title bar, at which point simply dragging the sides to make the window bigger can achieve the same effect.

    What I mean is something that looks allmost like fullscreen, but the taskbar remains on the bottom and Windows recognizes the game as windowed rather than "real" fullscreen. It makes the game look kinda like as if it was a wallpaper, but without anything (icons and widgets) on top. I see this mode available in very few games, but it's really nice imo.

    Yeah, I think I know what you mean. I've seen this for some games too, and I'd also like that, as I also don't play in fullscreen for those same reasons. I definitely get some issues with tugging on the boarders and accidentally resizing the game. Not to mention having to put certain things like the invi box where its supposed to be at again because it got messed up from the whole resizing thing.
