Some old programs have issues when trying to adapt to modern operating system and hardware. Thereinto, some old games cannot be rendered in fullscreen due to either an intentional omission or incompatibility reasons, e.g.: games designed for 4:3 displays have black vertical bars on wide screens.

Better Fullscreen is a free and open-source tiny tool used to enable borderless full-screen mode when playing old and unsupported PC games, providing players with a more immersive gaming experience. It works by resizing the window of selected program to fit screen size.

These features provide users with a more customizable and flexible full-screen experience.

Whether you want to make the most of your retro gaming sessions by stretching the games' windows across your entire digital canvas, or you simply wish to create custom tiled layouts for multitasking more easily throughout your workflows, Better Fullscreen may be the right tool for the job.
