Here I try to skip between fullscreen, normal windowed mode and floating windowed mode.
It kind of works but lots of unpolished things happens, for instance :

1) When resizing it updates everything as long as you are dragging the window but if you hold and stand still, the content does to?!

2) Going from windowed to fullscreen forgets the mouseposition, I try to go around this problem but it's not a perfect solve

3) Going from floating window and normal windowed mode creates a window in the centre of the screen for a short time
because how the SetDeviceWindow command work.


It's all just small things but together they make everything the game very unpolished so I would be grateful to get any tip on how to fix them one by one..

A nice side-discovery while I was solving other problems II found a way to tell if you are resizing a window from the top, bottom, left or right. Feel free to use this if you feel there's a use for it!

Also, there's a nice routine that creates a very polished splash screen, so I keep it i here, if anyone wants it.

F toggles Floating mode
A toggles fullscreen mode

(try hold A or F continuously to see the effect, or try to resize the window and hold the size to see the content stop)
