So we have some decent display options, better than some newer games coming out lately that seem to forget the needs that some people have, and I'm thankful we have those, but yet there's a few more I'd like to see, as we're so close to making everything perfect. Those are...
1). Remember Window Position. This should be the easiest thing ever to implement. A checkbox that when checked, makes the game remember the position and size of the window (whether or not it was maximized). Every time I start the game up, I need to click the maximize button because the game won't remember I had it maximized.
2). Windowed, Borderless. We have Borderless Window, but that forces the window to take up the entire viewing area, and that's not what I want. Many games today allow you to make the game windowed, and not take up the whole screen, but yet let you go borderless all the same.
3). Specify Start Position in Pixels. This, combined with #2 would let me achieve my ultimate goal -- I would set 0,0 and 1920x1040. This would have the effect of the game filling the entire display with the exception of the Windows Taskbar, as I run things like discord and I really like to see visual cues when I receive notifications (I turn popups off because I don't want those covering up parts of the game window I might need to see).
We've come so far, and we're so close to being perfect, why not just take those couple extra steps, so that everybody can tweak the game to their liking?
