Hello, first and foremost thanks for reading this post :D
I have been trying to undecorate the game's frame, as suggest the title, but the ~~~~JFrame of ~~~~GameWindow is apparently visible right after ~~~~Game#init() and unexistant beforehand. Because of this, the method ~~~~JFrame#setUndecorated(boolean) throw an error saying the frame is displayable. Sadly it remains displayable even after a call to ~~~~JFrame#setVisible(boolean) with argument ~~~~false, making it impossible to set the frame undecorated.
Any clues on how to conturn that predicament?
Heres my code for now :
~~```java~~public class Lock { private static JFrame window; public static synchronized void main(String... args) { JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(false); int mask = InputEvent.ALT_DOWN_MASK | InputEvent.CTRL_DOWN_MASK; Game.info().setName("LOCK"); Game.info().setSubTitle("Escape Game"); Game.init(); Lock.window = (JFrame) Game.window().getHostControl(); Input.mouse().setGrabMouse(true); Input.keyboard().onKeyTyped(e -> { if ((e.getModifiersEx() & mask) == mask && e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_E) { e.consume(); System.exit(0); } }); Game.start(); Lock.window.setUndecorated(true); //Throws the exception Lock.window.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE); Lock.window.setAlwaysOnTop(true); } }

Thank's for posting :)
Have you tried using the ~~~~FULLSCREEN mode yet?
You can set this either in the ~~~~config.properties -> ~~~~gfx\_fullscreen=true or via configuration from code directly: ~~~~Game.config().graphics().setFullscreen(true).
Inspired by this post
I'm currently investigating this and I'm working on extending the engine, so you can chose between the following display modes:
~~```~~WINDOWED = Resizable Window with decoration (otherwise it would not be resizable) BORDERLESS = Basically windowed but without decoration and scaled to the entire screen FULLSCREEN = Native Fullscreen; locked to the framerate of the Monitor```` I think a "borderless windowed" mode is not really something that occurs in practice. These new options will replace the mentioned "fullscreen" boolean option with the new configuration ~~~~gfx_displayMode that you will be able to set from code via ~~~~Game.config().graphics().setDisplayMode(...) You can expect these changes with the next engine release ~~~~v0.4.18-alpha` by the end of this year.

Thanks for your reply, your method indeed works fine!
By the way, I'm eagerly waiting for the new litiengine version, which seems even better than the previous one 😁 [kind of the point of a new version actually x)]
~~*~~I actually don't know how to set a discussion to resolved, is there a complex way only a forum elite might figure out?*

Glad to hear, currently working on the last issues with this version but it will be released sometime this month. And maybe we can squeeze in some more documentation over the holidays ;)

This is something for the privileged people only :)

Since we're all pretty privileged around here, you can edit the tags of discussions you created yourself. Just add the "SOLVED" tag and you're set 😉
