Simple Borderless Window

[johnnyboy88]

I did a search for this but nothing came up.

Anyway, I'm sure a lot of you already know about this mod. However, I thought I'd add my two cents about it.  I really like it for the fact that when I alt-tab out of the game I can alt-tab back without the black screen. Normally I'd have to alt-tab two or three times to get rid of the black screen.

 

This also makes playing windowed mode easier as well by allowing you to position the window.

 

Now, for the tip. Here's a batch file script If you play SKSE with ENB injector like I do instead of the d3d9 wrapper

 

This script will save you having to run separately the injector and sbw as well as chaining in SKSE. It also checks to see if the injector is already running so you don't start multiple copies. I then just add this batch file to MO executables.

 

You may wonder why I run the injector instead of the d3d9 wrapper. That's because I also run hwinfo64 and evga precisionX for their OSD of my system stats like fps counter, memory usage, cpu usage, etc.

 

Anyway, Here is the batch file script. Use it if you find it useful. Just copy and paste it to a txt file and rename the text file to "StartSkyrim.bat" or whatever and save it in your Skyrim directory with ENB and put SBW in its own sub-folder called "sbw" and you're good to go. I put sbw in a subfolder because it has an autoloader of its own that was screwing things up for me.

 

SBW --> ENB --> SKSE

SETLOCAL

tasklist | find "SimpleBorderlessWindow.exe"

If %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 (goto :SBW) Else (goto :ENBCHK)



:SBW

call "cmd /c start sbw/SimpleBorderlessWindow.exe"

(goto :ENBCHK)



:ENBCHK

tasklist | find "ENBInjector.exe"

If %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 (goto :ENB) Else (goto :SKSE)



:ENB

call "cmd /c start enbinjector.exe"



:SKSE

skse_loader.exe

ENDLOCAL

And here is the script to run without ENB.

 

SBW --> SKSE

SETLOCAL

tasklist | find "SimpleBorderlessWindow.exe"

If %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 (goto :SBW) Else (goto :SKSE)



:SBW

call "cmd /c start sbw/SimpleBorderlessWindow.exe"

(goto :SKSE)



:SKSE

skse_loader.exe

ENDLOCAL

New ENB's have FFS functionality built-in.

In enblocal.ini:

[WINDOW]
ForceBorderless=true
ForceBorderlessFullscreen=true

And switch Skyrim to windowed mode of course.

[johnnyboy88]

True. I haven't tried that yet, sbw's been working quite well for me. So I haven't bothered trying it. Can you change the position of the window with the enb technique if you play less than full screen native resolution?

 

The script can still be relevant to those who don't run enb or need to chain load something else. Maybe Hialgoboost or something.

[Uriel]

Yep, ForceBorderless=true disables the window frame, ForceBorderlessFullscreen=true stretches the remains to fullscreen.

I don't know how the ENB Version looks like. But what bothers me is that the taskbar is still visible.

 

I could suggest this mod: Fake Fullscreen For Skyrim

 

Simply makes you Windowed mode looks exactly like the fullscreen mode, but there seems to be some Brightness problems...

Whoa didn't know ENB had this.

Should try this over SBW.exe thanks.
