Managed to remove the borders, in fact with the same tool. :dblthumb:

"If you make a specific window setting and then under Startup > Options > Change standard window parts, you will find a couple of options, a.o. to remove certain standard parts. "

Just make sure to deactivate the resizable frame option, to remove the borders.

 

But now I have another problem: If I activate a Clone-Windows of the DMD, the game performance is bad. The framerate is still nice (140 fps with clone window, 240 fps without clone window), but the game is heavily stuttering and unplayable. If I activate Vsync in the Nvidia driver options, the stuttering is gone, everything is ultra smooth at constant 60 fps, but there is a minimal lag of a few milliseconds, which make the game feel sluggish. I belive, this micro lag is the usual tradeoff if you go with VSync on.

 

Any ideas?

Hey Duglim I dont no if this will help but I found if I ran it with out disabling the default Pinballx dmd when launching it would be choppy as well.

Found a solution for the input lag with Vsync on. Load the Nvidia Inspector and set the "nvidia frame limiter" to 58 fps.

 

Wonder if there is a hack to make the Pinball FX2 DMD fully opaque. I use the small game DMD on bottom left of the screen, nur many tables have colorful elemets shining through. Makes the Clone DMD harder to read.

I just installed version 8.1.3, and it no longer has the Startup -> Options ... sub menus.  I have emailed the support for how to do this.  This is what I see under Startup | Options

Well, I 'downgraded' to version 7.4.3 of Actual WIndows Mgr.  I found the settings mentioned above.  Now just need to try on my cab...

 

Thanks!

Zen has finally added support for a movable DMD with todays update. Works great, once you have it set up.
