CrossOver doesn't work in Fullscreen mode

[alecs91]

It seems that CrossOver doesn't work on EFT:
As soon as i set up the crosshair and then alt-tab in the EFT screen the crosshair disappears.
If i press any keyboard shortcut like alt+ctrl+maiusc+x (or 'h', or whatever) the game screen minimize and it brings me back to the desktop.
Suggestions?
Edit: It works with "screen mode borderless". It doesn't work with "screen mode fullscreen"

@alecs91 Unfortunately fullscreen mode doesn't work in most games, however there is a workaround using AutoHotKey https://github.com/lacymorrow/crossover#workaround

@lacymorrow I found a way to work in fullscreen mode.
You can find the code in the link blow.

@kyle-go What OS and Electron version are you using?

Your example code is almost identical to what I use with crossover already, unfortunately.

I would LOVE to find a workaround to this issue though.

I digged into it a little bit. And since fullscreen mode gives app the ability to use the graphic card in fully it means that in order to do overlay on top of that, some kind of gpu library would need to be used like DirectX or OpenGL. It makes whole problem a lot more complicated and if we would be using it on top of video game we may have problems with anti cheat stuff... :/
Ask Discord how they did it :P

Most likely a proprietary native extension, which would be hard for me to support as the sole dev on the project.
