Ask Question 2. Currently trying to play Syndicate using DOSBOX, but when in full screen mode, the mouse is unusable. It moves in erratic directions and even the slightest movement sends the cursor drifting off uncontrollably. This is NOT a problem when not in full screen mode.

Playing windowed is a must for me, but man are the borders from the window a total immersion kill for me, is it possible to get Dosbox to run as a full-screened window without borders? If so how?

I don't think DosBox has borderless full-screen capability. Best thing to do is go into DosBox settings and change the window resolution to match your lines of resolution vertically, then set the Windows taskbar to not cover windows so that the DosBox window can effectively fill the vertical space.
For example, when you go into the DosBox settings, and you have a 1366x768 monitor, you could set them to:
fullscreen=false
fulldouble=false
fullresolution=original
windowresolution=1024x768
fulldouble=false
fullresolution=original
windowresolution=1024x768

Sucks that this is probably the closest I can get, but thanks for the answer anyway.

I'm confused... if the window borders are a total immersion killer, surely seeing your desktop and taskbar is also an immersion killer? Then there's also 'full-screened window'... It sounds like your definition of windowed is different from mine. Can you explain what you mean?Darkcloud.282

cogadh: I'm curious, why is windowed mode a must?
Most games take quite a while when tabbing out of fullscreen to get back in. Also quite some may crash or get graphical errors when you do it. Dosbox jumps to windowed mode and changes some aspect ratio settings while doing it if you tab out. If you use more than 1 screen you also automatically tab out of fullscreen stuff if you klick on something on the second screen.
I use that tool to make many games borderless windowed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oYQZFLBkAg
You should use the hotkey method because with auto mode it often affects other windows if you tab out.

Stable alt-tabbing I can see as being beneficial, though I personally find the times that is needed are few and far between and those rare occasions where I might need it, the Steam overlay works fine (don't hate, I manage all my games through Steam these days, though that isn't an option with DOSBox games). If you use more than 1 screen you also automatically tab out of fullscreen stuff if you klick on something on the second screen.
However, I don't see how this could improve game performance. The performance should take a hit if you run like that, since instead of rendering just the game, your PC will be rendering the desktop as well as the game simultaneously. The wiki link TheJoe posted even says as much. Of course the impact of the performance hit would depend greatly on your hardware and the demands of the game itself.

Actually, it works fine on OpenGL. It doesn't work on DDraw, but it would work on Direct3D if DOSBox supported that. There are versions out there that support Direct3D, but not the 'normal' DOSBox.SFJake

mondo84: I'm bumping this simply because you tell us: fulldouble=false
fullresolution=original
windowresolution=1024x768
' then set the Windows taskbar to not cover windows'
Which means what...? There is no option for this and if there was, I wouldn't be looking for a solution!
I just don't get it. Other than auto-hide which is a terrible option that always hides the taskbar, I just want DosBox to be 'over' the task bar.

General discussion (archive)Use Specific Browsers for Websites Requiring Java, Silverlight, ActiveX, or Internet Explorer
Windows 10 uses the new Microsoft Edge as its default browser. Edge doesn’t include support for Java, ActiveX, Silverlight, and other technologies. Chrome has also dropped support for NPAPI plug-ins like Java and Silverlight.
RELATED:How to Use Java, Silverlight, and Other Plugins in Modern Browsers
To use older web applications requiring these technologies, fire up the Internet Explorer web browser included with Windows 10 for compatibility reasons. IE still supports ActiveX content. Mozilla Firefox still supports Java and Silverlight.
You can launch Internet Explorer from the Start menu. If you’re already Microsoft Edge, just open the settings menu and select “Open with Internet Explorer” to open the current web page directly in Internet Explorer.
In general, if an older application doesn’t function on Windows 10, it’s a good idea to try to find a modern replacement that will work properly. But, there are some apps—especially old PC games and business apps—that you just may not be able to replace. Hopefully, some of the compatibility tricks we’ve shared will get those apps up and running again.
