Gameframe

Custom window frame for GameMaker games · By YellowAfterlife

How was the "no freeze on move window" achieved?

Hey there,

the feature I am interested in is the "not getting a frozen game anymore on moving the game window". In the earlier extension (https://yellowafterlife.itch.io/window-freeze-fix) it was claimed the way it was handled there (window inside window) as not a good solution... so, this uses a different approach?

Developer

Window Freeze Fix avoided the freeze on moving the window by embedding a borderless game window into another window, but this revealed to have a number of caveats

Gameframe avoids the issue by drawing a custom frame in Draw GUI event and simulating the common window operations (move, resize, maximize, etc.) with either what GM offers out of box or through a DLL.
