Made a free tool so windowed games fill exactly half of my 32:9 screen, without the title bar cutting off the bottom

I run my 49" 5120x1440 split with PowerToys FancyZones: a game on the left 2560x1440, Plex or an editor or whatever on the right. The annoying part was the title bar. Set a game to 2560x1440 windowed and Windows adds a title bar of about 31 px on top, so the bottom of the game ends up below the zone. I also wanted my ultrawide to feel like multiple monitors and the borders are in the way of that

So I wrote a lightweight program called FancyBorderless. Whenever FancyZones snaps a window, it removes the title bar and fits the window to the zone:

- games keep their resolution and fill the zone exactly
- resizable apps are resized to their zone, also when you switch layouts (I use 21:9 layouts for some games, so the right side changes width)
- some games put their title bar straight back. For those it parks the title bar just above the top edge of the screen instead
- browsers and other apps with tabs in the title bar are left alone

It sits in the tray, the settings are in the tray menu, and Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T toggles the title bar of the window in front. That choice is remembered per app. It doesn't inject anything into games; it only changes and moves windows from the outside, like borderless-window tools do.

StarCraft II Campaign Ultrawide - Updated

Good news!

I am wrapping up a massive update to the ultrawide hack for StarCraft II. I should have it uploaded shortly to the GitHub repo.

  • Fixed many position and scale issues with the HUD scale feature such as hotkey display
  • Added FoV scaling for hub areas to prevent the image cropping closer when stretching to ultrawide (Hyperion, leviathan, etc - also have not tested cutscenes yet)
  • Added max zoom out distance and a zoom steps count selector (+100% shown - obviously impacts performance)
  • Added dark mode and a proper icon to the app

65% HUD scale and +100% zoom distance

FoV increased in Hyperion lab
