Experiment with fullscreen modes for Big Box and the Steam Overlay

[Former user]

Hi Jason,

I am a big fan of Bigbox and use it a lot for my emulation needs. I also use Steam a lot in combination with the Steam controller so I always launch Bigbox from Steam (so I can make use of the Steam controller with the emulators). however, Bigbox's excellent fullscreen mode totally blocks the Steam overlay which is key in using the controller (for switching different emulator controller profiles). So my feature request is adding an other "fake" fullscreen mode for Bigbox which will work with Steam overlay, it would be so appreciated!

Thanks,

Aldo

I don't quite understand, a Fake Windowed mode (or a fullscreen window) is what BigBox already uses anonymous. BigBox was never designed to utilize the Steam Overlay though, so there might be a Steam Hook probably with the way we display graphics that we're missing. I will pass this on to Jason though as this would probably be better to have in the long run!

This is a good point, though. There are several different types of fullscreen modes so we could experiment to see what might work with the Steam overlay.

Try to add a Windowed Borderless option to BigBox. That should fix it
