Borderless Window?

I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to run GW in a borderless window - where it looks full screen, but you don't have to minimize it to access your 2nd monitor. I found a program, http://grismar.net/shiftwindow/, which didn't work for me. It worked on Firefox when I tested to see if it works at all, but when I try it on GW, it flashes as a borderless window for a few milliseconds, then returns to normal.

Probably because the program (or in this case, game) has to support border less window mode. I doubt that program can "make" a program run border less.

Nope, that's not quite the case, I've tried it with several other programs that would have no reason to include any sort of code for borderless windows, yet they all worked.
I think GW actively acts against it

So I guess unless they add native support for it, or someone manages to develop a tool specifically designed for GW, I guess it's it's a lost cause.

Depending on what you want to do, programs like xfire and raptr can smooth your transitions for you.

Xfire will give you access to IM services, a web browsing window and your music player without having to exit the game.

Raptr has only IM services, but it has more of them than xfire, and it is simpler and easier to use.

If the xfire browser is compatible with google docs etc., you might have access to everything you could possibly need there.
