Popup panel possible without frames?

Is popup panel possible without frames?

I don’t know if there is a workaround or maybe a mod to your request but there is a wishlist topic:

A combination of a code, used in AutoHotKey might work.

I’ve used that software in the past, when it used to be known as AutoIT. Essentially its software used to automate GUI’s, which I used a lot before PowerShell came along.

You can write a script that will identify a window by its metadata, and allow you to do powerful stuff that you can’t do with the mouse, and keyboard alone.

For example, I used it once to install a Dell BIOS update on to a machine it was not applicable for! The install button was greyed out, but AutoIT doesn’t care, and allows interaction with buttons you can’t normally get to. :slight_smile:

So, @IbnYasser, yes, you can do this. @hobanagerik has posted one way, but there are two others that I know of:

  1. If the pop-out is on another screen and you want it to be full-screen (ie the only thing on that screen) then you can mouse-click on the pop-out and hit ALT+ENTER. That will make the pop-out full screen, which removes the title bar. The sim will preserve the aspect ratio of the content. But you won’t be able to have anything else on the screen.

  2. You can install the free MSFS Pop-Out Panel Manager. This will let you automate the popping out and positioning of your pop-outs and it also includes a feature to remove the title bar from a pop-out window without full-screening it.
