[PD] Gem window and fullscreen on OS X Was: GEM and video playback broken in MacOS?

[Csaba Láng]

Peter,

In April I wrote this but never got an answer:

since I moved to  [gemglfw3window] as gemwin has not been created on since
Big Sur I am unable to make borderless screen.
Is there a workaround? [fullscreen 2( is not my option.

Best,

Popesz
