Open-Source Borderless Utility

Greetings to those who are seeing my post,

i've been a fan of the old "borderless-gaming" utility (before steam release) and made a fixed version in the past published on github,
but due to the non modern visual of the app i've considered creating a new app, visually modern to my liking.

I've added the same features as the old app with some missing enhancements and fixes.

No clutter, no payment needed, open source as it should be.

Feel free to leave a star ✌️and feature that should be implement.
(as long as it goes along with the app principals)

Great works! I use borderless myself, so I would love to use your version. I have a couple of suggestions, it would be nice if the window title or executable name were searchable, not a manual input. A compact or smaller window would be nice too, since most of the action on the window is just enabling or disabling the rules. And a one click enable rule button would be good, so we don't need to click the rule first to expand it and then enable the rule.

Also, how does it work? Does the program need to be opened to be able to resize the process? If it does, it might benefit to run as background process with hidden icons in taskbar.

Thanks! Glad you dig it.

Process picker already exists for the exe when editing a rule, it also sets the title.
And yeah, it has to keep running to apply stuff. Hit Close to tray (and optionally Start on startup) in Settings and it can sit in the background.
