About Borderless Gaming
Exclusive fullscreen makes alt-tabbing slow because the display mode has to change each time. Borderless Gaming strips the title bar and border from a windowed game and stretches it to fill the screen, giving you the fullscreen look with the alt-tab behaviour of a window.
It can be set to do this automatically for particular games, so it becomes invisible once configured, and it handles multi-monitor setups. It is particularly useful for older games that only offer windowed or exclusive fullscreen with no borderless option.
It is open source under the GPLv2. The Steam listing is a paid way to support the author; the GitHub release is free.
