Borderless window mode in Payday 2?

I have a multi-monitor setup on the PC that I generally game on, as a result I usually run games either in EyeFinity mode (utilising all monitors as a single screen with the game across all of them) or more often, running games in "borderless window mode" so that I can freely move my mouse between screens and chat on the bridge, or whatever.

Payday 2 doesn't support borderless window mode - it has a bordered window mode and a fullscreen mode. Are there any configuration file changes I can make that will force a borderless window mode, or any external utilities I can use to achieve the same effect?

Borderless Window Mode (Fullscreen Window Mode) is not available natively in Payday 2 as an option, you're only able to run the game in fullscreen mode or windowed mode (with a window border). Numerous people have asked for this feature on the Steam forums and Overkill forums but as of yet there hasn't been an official response in relation to this feature request.

As a workaround, you can use Windowed Borderless Gaming but this has been reported to occasionally cause some minor issues with distorted text in game.

ShiftWindow is my preferred way of dealing with games that don't have a native borderless window mode.

If you are talking about steam you can right click on payday 2 in your library and then select preferences. A window should come up and if you click set launch options and type in"-windowed" it should launch in windowed mode.
