Alt-tab from fullscreen

[Petdo]

This is the source code of script that Zenaku mentioned

^+a::
WinSet, Style, -0xC00000,a ; remove the titlebar and border(s)
WinMove, a, , 0, 0, 1680, 1050 ; move the window to 0,0 and resize it to 1680x1050
return

You need to edit the value on WinMove line to match your screen resolution
You'll need autohotkey program to run this script http://www.autohotkey.com/download/

Here's the step
install autohotkey
The easy way is open your notepad
copy the script I quoted and edit value to match your screen res.
save as yourfilename.ahk
run the script by double click
when FFXIV window start ( after SE logo ) you can press ctrl+shift+a to move it to psudo-full screen and no problem with alt-tab or lost lower border anymore.

Anyway.... I'm kind of disappoint that this script released since beta... almost 7 months ago.
And SE still don't take action on this issue
Btw, even with this script, if your window 7 go to login screen you still get some directx error and exit the game.

I know there's lot of issue to take care of.
But every minor things that SE neglect is like they are lag of good senior programmer to guide junior...

Ya everything is there even the set up all you do is start up the setup and there one file you can edit and make your own without issue. Take only 5mins to set up without issue then all you do is start up the file and press ctrl-alt and F while you in game.

Note you most have FFXIV in your PC res and make the file in your PC res also the game most be in window mode. Only issue is you still in window mode so you don't get that better FPS like real full screen.
