Basic replacement for "Window freeze fix"

Hi,

This extension is great, and really powerful - but to the point where I want to do something simple, and can't quite figure it out (lol).

Functionally, all I'd like for the extension to do is recreate the effect of the "Window freeze fix" extension, where dragging the window around doesn't freeze the game. Its appearance should still remain the Windows default, and entering fullscreen would result in the window being borderless (currently uses window_enable_borderless_fullscreen).

How would I go about doing this?

Thanks!

Hello!

The extension doesn’t try to perfectly mimic the Windows title bars/borders because the most reliable way to do that is to have a secondary window wrap around the game window, which is what Window Freeze Fix did, and which is why it had so many oddities - although nested windows are a core feature of Windows, plenty tools don’t expect games and software to use this or don’t handle the various edge cases.

Fullscreen transitions are done using gameframe_set_fullscreen.

Ah I see, might as well get creative with the window art then!

Thank you for your quick response!
