SDL2 - window border still visible after removing window decorations

[dessant]

import os
os.environ['KIVY_WINDOW'] = 'sdl2'

from kivy.config import Config
Config.set('graphics', 'width', 300)
Config.set('graphics', 'height', 300)
Config.set('graphics', 'borderless', 'True')

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.button import Button


class MyApp(App):

    def build(self):
        return Button(text='Test')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    MyApp().run()

I think this doesn't apply to OS X 10.10.3 any more. Tested on Kivy 1.9.0.

Any progress on this issue for Windows Platforms? I'm getting the same behavior as @dessant on Windows 7 64-bit using Kivy 1.9.1

@welnaseth, it seems to be an upstream issue, you could check if it has been reported for sdl2, or open an issue there.

Please link any info you get from the sdl2 devs.

Yay, if you want to also hide the resizing handle, you have to disable resizing. This should be documented.
The example below should give you no borders at all:

from kivy.config import Config
Config.set('graphics', 'width', 300)
Config.set('graphics', 'height', 300)
Config.set('graphics', 'resizable', 'False')
Config.set('graphics', 'borderless', 'True')

from kivy.app import App
from kivy.uix.button import Button


class MyApp(App):

    def build(self):
        return Button(text='Test')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    MyApp().run()
