Does this tool generally work at what it's meant to do? Yeah. But it's got issues.

The single biggest issue with this tool is the constant background CPU utilization; it's simply excessive. On my machine, while the Borderless Gaming tool is ostensibly "idling" in the background, its process actually cycles between using roughly 100% of one CPU core for ~3 seconds, then goes idle for ~3 seconds, and then repeats, without end. So, whatever methodology is being used to do the window detection stuff, it's clearly too heavyweight to realistically justify itself.

And then to add to the above, the developer of this tool has effectively abandoned it since mid-2017. So improvements are highly unlikely to ever happen. Oh and did I mention that this $4 offering on Steam can be obtained for free, as it's an open source project hosted on GitHub? Yeah...

I would highly recommend that potential users of this tool (a) download it directly from the project's website instead of paying for it on Steam, particularly given that it contains no actual Steam integration, and in fact works best in isolation from Steam; and (b) consider an alternative tool for the job instead of this one.
