Is it possible to make the Unity windows standalone player run borderless? This would be similar to the OSX Dashboard Widget.

You can use external tools such as AutoHotKey to get rid of the window decorations/borders/title. Note however that Unity's rendering canvas will be scaled, not resized, so you will lose some Anti-Aliasing quality - unless you have AA disabled, in which case you will gain some antialiasing due to the interpolated scaling. Take a look at this thread for detailed information: http://forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php?t=242644

No, it is not possible at the moment. Maybe with Unity3.

Of course it's easy. I do it by creating a shortcut or batch file that starts the exe, instead of running the exe file. For example, a batch file. This is just an example, so say our EXE name is RUN.EXE. You would open Notepad, type the following: start RUN.EXE -popupwindow Then File> Save as> and in the filename where it says .txt origionally, just remove that and use an asterick and a bat extension (*.bat) Hit ENTER, then it will know you want to save as a bat file. Now just type in a name like Launcher.bat, don't forget to remove the asterick but keep the .bat extension. Now you would run this Launcher file. The argument -popupwindow is what allows your Unity Standalone EXE to run without borders :D Also if you create a shortcut to your exe on your desktop, just go to the shortcut properties and add the -popupwindow argument to the target.

Create a cocoa framework enabled bundle in XCode 4 and perform the following objective-c function call somewhere inside an external function: (See Unity3d plugins for more on this) [[[NSApplication sharedApplication] mainWindow] setStyleMask:NSBorderlessWindowMask]; This will set the window border at runtime to a borderless window. Please note* Screen.SetResolution( ... ); will add the border back. I'm not sure if this is because of the way Unity resizes the window or if they create a new window all together that then must be changed.

This doesn't work as it leaves a white 20 pix bar at the top of the screen

-popupwindow doesn't work on mac builds only windows builds. Plus to add the argument on a mac app would invalidate the apple signing for the app store.

Yeah -popupwindow only works in windows, so do EXE files. I figured that would be quite an obvious match.

Why is this a wiki?
This confuses me too... what is going on here?
This seems like a really sensible question to me. I have done this sort of thing in prior games, and it would be really nice to be able to do it with Unity, too.
As far as I know, there is no option on the API to run your app borderless :(, if you get to know how, let me know :)
