Borderless Window Mode?

    Getting a little frustrated at the lack of a Borderless Window mode here, pretty standard on PC these days.

    I Alt+Tab quite a bit to other windows and would prefer the game not get minimized when I do so, and the usual work arounds do not seem to work too well in Windows Store games. (Taskbar and Title Bar remain visible like a regular Maximized window.)

    Tabbing to a window on my secondary monitor keeps the fullscreen window open, which is unusual. Opening a window on my primary monitor closes SoT as exepected. Quite odd behavior.

    most games aren't coded to play nice with other windows and apps

    @munchy-ham These days, they generally do just work. Rare to see a PC game without a Borderless Window mode, and when it happens it is usually patched in fairly quickly.

    @lgender I can alt and tab and still come back to the game, no problem. I think it's an issue they are aware of and will fix at release.

    @mad-jack-ketch Coming back to the game isn't an issue. It's just the lack of a Borderless Window option means it minimizes in the first place instead of it remaining visible in the background.

    @lgender Again it'll either be fixed/implemented in release i'm sure. Every game now has a borderless option.
