What's the point of Windowed mode in video games if putting windowed mode doesn't show the entire game when you set it to your monitor's resolution?
Why don't windowed mode let you put 1920x1000 instead of 1920x1080 so you can get rid of the task bar and title menu?

>double click title, game window resizes and scales up
What video games do this other than Terraria?

Why don't more games come with borderless window?

The point is better ease of tabbing out and multitasking compared to tabbing out of a fullscreen application. As to why they don't allow something like 1920*1000, probably because it wouldn't be a standard aspect ratio. You'd just have to make do with something like 1680*1050 at that point.
In any case, this is why the borderless windowed/borderless fullscreen -option is a great thing, as you get the best of both worlds, and is fortunately becoming more and more of a staple in modern games.

>it wouldn't be a standard aspect ratio
completely irrelevant
setting the correct aspect ratio is as simple as dividing the window width by the window height and using the number you get from that in your projection matrix instead of the standard 1.777777777778.
that way you automatically support whatever arbitrary game window dimensions your audience might feel like using
any game that doesn't do this is irredeemable trash.

if you have a giant monitor it's easier to adjust screen size by just having it in a window

OpenRCT2 does it nicely.
but I like playing in a small window because of nostalgia (4:3 screen).

Are there any other good options for forcing borderless other than Borderless Gaming?
