The screens on our computers are getting larger and larger, and it's also common to see configurations with one or two auxiliary panels. All that extra space offers multiple advantages to the user, but it's not much help if an application uses a fixed window size and appears like a stamp. That's where Fullscreenizer comes in, a small app that forces a borderless mode on an open process to simulate fullscreen.
A fairly common problem I have when writing articles about programs is the size limit in their interfaces. Some tools don't even have one, forcing me to use low-quality images that never look good on websites. Old games cause a similar issue. Recently we talked about the DxWnd tool to force them to run in windowed mode and establish a compatible environment, but if the game's native resolution is 320 x 240 and it doesn't want to cooperate, we need to activate resources like special filters and interpolation.
Within that list of resources we find Fullscreenizer. The program behaves as a kind of task manager, detecting all processes opened by the user. There we choose the program we're interested in, and upon clicking 'Fullscreenize', the application will force a borderless mode that mimics (to a certain extent) a fullscreen window. The final result depends on the program we're trying to modify. Some respond immediately, others have minor issues, and then there are those that completely ignore Fullscreenizer.
In other words, Fullscreenizer isn't perfect. The program's last update dates back to July 2013, and I must admit it doesn't play well with Windows 10. I think the most logical thing is to use it as a last resort. If compatibility modes don't help or the software we want to enlarge simply doesn't have any 'official' parameter, so to speak, maybe Fullscreenizer can hit the mark. The 'nuclear option' is simply to lower the panel's resolution to compensate, but it will look horrible...
