💖 SDL_GetWindowFullscreenMode(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL3 FUNCTIONS corner of the manual, where we answer the question: what display mode is this window gonna use when it goes fullscreen? ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

SDL_GetWindowFullscreenMode — the lil function that queries the display mode to use when a window is visible at fullscreen. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <SDL3/SDL_video.h>

const SDL_DisplayMode * SDL_GetWindowFullscreenMode(SDL_Window *window);

like. she's simple. she's elegant. she returns a const SDL_DisplayMode *. no cap. 🎀

🦋 FUNCTION PARAMETERS 🦋

  • window — the window you wanna query. that's it. that's the whole vibe check. 💅

💜 RETURN VALUE 💜

  • Returns a pointer to the exclusive fullscreen mode to use, or NULL for borderless fullscreen desktop mode. 🫶
ngl the NULL case is not an error bestie, it's literally a whole different mode. read the room. 😭

🧚 THREAD SAFETY 🧚

this function should only be called on the main thread. periodt. don't be out here calling it from some random thread, that's giving chaos and we don't do that. 💀

⭐ AVAILABILITY ⭐

this function is available since SDL 3.2.0. so if you're on something older… yeah no. upgrade era. 🌈

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

iykyk — getters and setters are a matched set, go read the other two. 🔥
