Great, that worked perfectly.
Great, that worked perfectly. Thanks. Is there any way to make it automatically activate everytime Spiral Knights (Steam version) is launched?

I guess you could try doing
I guess you could try doing it with a batch/shell script. I think AutoHotkey can test for the presence of a window, so start the game, start the AutoHotkey script, have it remove the borders of the next window by that name. Probably not worth the trouble.

Thanks for all your help. I
Thanks for all your help. I was able to figure it out myself. I converted the following script to an executable using AH's converter and pin the shortcut to the taskbar:
run steam://rungameid/99900
Run, "%A_AhkPath%" "E:\Documents\Autohotkey\Spiral Knights - max.ahk"
WinWaitActive, Spiral Knights - Craziplaya
WinSet, Style, -0xC40000, Spiral Knights - Craziplaya
WinMaximize, Spiral Knights - Craziplaya
Since WinMaximize seems to sometimes break when I alt-tab. I also had it call "Spiral Knights - max.ahk" which consist of the exact script you gave me earlier which would allow me to manually fix it whenever it happens (unless you know how to make it so that it doesn't break on alt-tab lol).
Screenshot shows what i mean by "break" (the top border): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2340974/SK.jpg

Replace everything in "Spiral Knights - max.ahk" with:

WinSet, Style, -0xC40000, Spiral Knights - Craziplaya
WinMaximize, Spiral Knights - Craziplaya
Reload

Thanks!
This seems to work with the Steam version too.
Guess I need to try AHK with some other games. I love running fullscreen windowed so I can alt-tab into my 2nd monitor!

Steam Launch Commands
Anyway to incorporated any of these scripts in to the launch options of the link straight from the steam GUI?

requesting script
I've been trying to get my own scripts set up to run Spiral Knights borderless, but I can't quite figure out the final scripts you guys have working. Would one of you be willing to lay out in one post (and minus the "replace this" bits that I'm getting hung up on) exactly what's in your script(s), please? I would be very grateful, as AutoHotkey seems to be a decent way to get around the lack of native borderless support.
Thanks in advance. :)

Please look at the date of the previous post next time.The last post was in 2011.I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, and say that you didn't look at the date.Just do so next time k? Also, the UI has changed, so you might have to change or tweak your method.

Uh, you don't need any 3rd
Uh, you don't need any 3rd party software nowadays, create a text file named extra.txt in the spiral knights directory (that one where you have getdown-pro.jar) and add "-Dorg.lwjgl.opengl.Window.undecorated=true" without quotation marks to it.

searching for working method
Hero-Of-Cheese: I did look at the date, actually, but figured someone would know anyway. I was able to get the [Ctrl]+[B] script from reply #1 to work just fine, but liked the idea of borderless being applied automatically when the game opened.
Paweu: Thanks for the helpful reply. :) Unfortunately while extra.txt does take the border off, it also makes the entire window black when it is in focus and at my native resolution. When I alt+tab, the game displays like normal again in the background, but when I focus back on the game itself, it goes black again. This happens both with and without Steam and on two different computers, both running W7 (one 32 bit, one 64 bit), and tested with Steam Beta where SK is located in a non-default location, a normal Steam install location on non-beta Steam, and a normal java install. When I use a smaller resolution, extra.txt works just fine, but my goal was full-screened windowed.
I have been unable to find an official source for the extra.txt method for solutions to the blank/black screen, and searching these official forums is difficult when the search options are so extremely limited. I appreciate the reply and the help!

Greetings,
The alt-tab failure indicates a driver-side problem. Normally you should be able to swap to and from Spiral Knights freely (no matter your display mode). Please make sure that your graphics drivers are completely up to date. However, some integrated graphics devices will struggle making this swap. Unfortunately there is no solution for them.

@Paweu
dam i did that but it's not working =\ still got borders
I have "extra.txt" file in that directory with the line of code inside the text
I've also tried naming the file "extra.txt -Dorg.lwjgl.opengl.Window.undecorated=true" but to no avail
You can do this with AutoHotkey. Use this script:
^b::
WinSet, Style, -0xC40000, Spiral Knights
WinMaximize, Spiral Knights
Run Spiral Knights in windowed mode, at your desktop resolution, and hit ctrl+b after starting the game.
