I am in the need of hiding the titlebar when the mousecursor is within the games window, but then show it once the cursor is outside.

The result I am getting is a flickering screen.

code:


Thanks in advance!

Check for X as well next to Y i guess.

Anyways why does this need to be a function?

Maybe because you are setting the window layout every time you run this function. This is going to cause problems no matter what you do (IMO).

Why are you changing the window layout? Why not just have it one way or the other? In my experience someone playing a game doesn't care about the border in a windowed game...

@Quel

Well, I will add so it checks for X too. But for testing there should be no difference

And I thought that a function would make the code cleaner

@baxslash

I want to hide the border since I am looking for a nice, graphical style in the game. And the border takes that away.
But still I want the player to be able to move around the window if needed.

I will see if I can come up with a way around

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that? Do you mean be able to move the mouse outside the window?

Why not just stick with no frame and add your own title bar if the user goes within say 30 pixels of the top of the window (if you really need the titlebar at all)?

The game is made for windowed mode, and when the game begins the window is a little off position. And if I remove the titlebar the player wont be able to center it on screen...

...Just came up with somethign better I guess

Oh. I guess it must be important for some reason.

Great. If you think it might help someone else please share. If not then don't worry about it.

Hope I helped in some small way
