    I always found it wierd Mac can't do the whole borderless windowed thing. How come it needs actual restricting clunky outdated fullscreen?

    Because Mac needs it, it makes it sort of necesary, win/mac/linux were promised support. However, morally, I dislike intentionally implementing outdated features.

    No clue what you're talking about because Mac can do full screen.

    Stated clearly:

    PA has fullscreen on my Windows. Why doesn't it have fullscreen on Mac. Literally. What stops a Mac from bringing it fullscreen? To be even more precise, one can implement fullscreen via adjusting the window outside the game, so why can't Mac?

    I'm not a software developer. I don't know why it does or doesn't work.

    Either way, Mac does support full screen in one way or another.

    If you want to know why? I don't know why. Go find a software developer.

    The full-screen for Windows PC is a fake full-screen. I forget what thread the devs talked about it in, but they basically are faking full-screen.

    yes, I'm no dev either, but I already said that. They are using new and functional fullscreen. Its borderless windowed. It doesn't draw full monitor focus. If oblivion used it, it wouldn't crash when minimized and maximized, which you'd do to use the internet.

    I was asking why mac don't let the game expand the size of monitor, remove border and title bar, and bring to front of start bar.

    Fullscreen would be nice, can't use edge scrolling because of conflicts with dock.
