al_set_display_flag(3alleg5)

💅 al_set_display_flag — Allegro 5 API

okay bestie, so this one lives in the Allegro 5 manual (that's the 3alleg5 situation, iykyk) and it's literally the glow-up button for your display flags ✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

bool al_set_display_flag(ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display, int flag, bool onoff)

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So basically you pass in a display, a flag, and an onoff — and this function toggles that one display flag on or off. That's it, that's the whole vibe 🎀

The flags are the exact same crew as the ones for al_set_new_display_flags(3alleg5). BUT — and this is the part you have to hear me on — the only flags you can switch up after the display already exists are these three queens:

• ALLEGRO_FULLSCREEN_WINDOW
• ALLEGRO_FRAMELESS
• ALLEGRO_MAXIMIZED

That's the whole list. No extras, no secret menu, periodt 💅

It returns true if the driver actually supports toggling the flag you asked for, and false if it doesn't (rip 🫶). And here's the sneaky part — a true doesn't mean the property actually changed. To check that, go ask al_get_display_flags(3alleg5) and see what really happened. It's giving "trust but verify" fr fr 👑
