Default Full Screen Windowed/Borderless

How do I accomplish this task? I want to do it cleanly without too much extra software but if thats required then so be it. I am on Windows 10 64bit.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

If only there was literally a thread right below yours that talks about the same issue

Maybe you can try this?

Instructions:

1. Get and install Windowed Borderless Gaming (linked above)
2. eqclient.ini: (found in your everquest directory)
a. set your resolutions
b. set windowedmode=TRUE
3. Run WindowedBorderlessGaming application.
4. Run "Launch Titanium.bat" that is provided by project 1999.
5. Once everquest is running (in a window), give focus to it by clicking on the everquest window then press F3 (this will let WindowedBorderlessGaming know this is the window you want to use.)
6. If you wanna edit any options, right click on the WindowedBorderlessGaming program and goto Settings->Game Settings and set your resolution.
7. done.

Using that application, I am unable to get F3 to recognize EQ. Not sure why. I've got the eqclient.ini setup with proper resolutions and I see those within the client as well. I can go into Windowed mode but I still see my taskbar. If I go into the settings and change WindowedModeOffsetX or Y, those function correctly but the taskbar still shows.. Not true borderless Windowed.

I have Win 10x64 and it works perfect.

Start of my eqclient.ini
Code:
[VideoMode]
WindowedWidth=1920
WindowedHeight=1080
Width=1920
Height=1080
FullscreenBitsPerPixel=32
FullscreenRefreshRate=0
WinEQWidth=1920
WinEQHeight=1080
WidthWindowed=1920
HeightWindowed=1080
[Defaults]
Log=TRUE
WindowedMode=TRUE
Sound=TRUE
TextureQuality=2
Make sure you are running the launch titanium.bat and NOT using wineq2.

If you get it to work, make sure you change your max FPS in your options to 60 or so.

The program only works once you get into character select/ in game.

Make sure F3 isn't bound to something else. You can go into the program options and change which button you want to use. You can also try F4. Those are the two default buttons that will notify the program. It only works if Everquest has focus.

So it seems to be working now. I didn't change anything and I am not using any window resizing programs but the method that appears to work is:

1. Launch game via bat file
2. Get into the character select or in game screens
3. Alt-enter to go full screen
4. Alt-enter again to go back to Windowed
5. Windowed now scales to 1920/1080 and behaves as a normal application in borderless would

Thanks for the help!
