## What it is
Borderless Gaming is a desktop tool that converts windowed video games into borderless 'fullscreen' applications, removing the need for alt-tabbing. It is written in C# and available both on Steam and as open source under GPL-2.0.

## Use cases
- play games in borderless windowed mode
- make a windowed game behave like fullscreen
- avoid alt-tab delays when switching between games and other apps
- remove window borders and title bars from games
- run multiple monitors without fullscreen games minimizing

## When to choose
- you want a free, open-source alternative to fullscreen-exclusive mode
- you game on Windows and frequently alt-tab out of games
- you want borderless windowing for games that lack the option natively

## When to avoid
- you need a tool for non-Windows gaming setups
- you only play games that already offer native borderless windowed mode
- you need performance features like FPS caps or overlays
