Not on mac anyway, unfortunately, it has the silly window bar which ends up being a problem because the window bar is at the top of the screen, and the bottom part of the window is therefore pushed below the bottom of the screen so you can't see toolbars in the game.On mac you can change it to borderless by modifying the plist or info file in there somewhere. No idea why this isn't the default, since the issues were noted years ago.

It's easy to do this by going to:

Starsector\starsector-core\data\config\settings.json and setting these:

   "undecoratedWindow":true,
   "resolutionOverride":"####x####",
   "windowLocationX":0,
   "windowLocationY":0,

There is also "alwaysUndecoratedAtFullscreen":true, which should give you an undecorated window.. if this doesn't work on Mac, the 4 other settings there should fix it for you.

Unless I'm ignorant and Mac forces its own window border anyway.
