Hello, thank you for this extension. I seem to be running into some minor errors. (I am using Windows 10, and GMS 2.3.)

When right clicking on the game, it'll display the name as window_frame_host.exe, with its associated icon. Clicking the icon will show the empty black window: "this is a helper program for window_frame.dll". I've also inconsistently found that trying to close the game project on its own will leave the window frame onscreen. It's hard to recreate this bug, though. Thanks for your time.

I believe the information shown for taskbar buttons comes from the executable information, so at most you could either recompile window_frame_host with your own labels or edit it using Resource Hacker. The earlier-mentioned third party rewrite was supposed to address the issue, but I’m not sure when that’s going to be out.

A black preview is a side effect of however Windows calculates them - I’m not sure if this is easily fixable.

If the game crashes or closes abruptly (without executing the normal game end events), there’ll be no one to tell the frame window to close, so it will only do so once some kind of interaction happens.

If your only desire is to have borderless fullscreen, OutsideTheBox is more reliable.
