Constant play area is okay if it's just a black border around the play area within the expanded window size. If it works like what it sounds like, you could use ShiftWindow (or equivalent) to at least have a dark screen without having to look at the window title bar and borders, or the taskbar.

Just thinking out loud. It seems like you guys are so close. I'm okay with windowed mode (never even considered it at first because I usually go immediately to fullscreen in any game) but then I started thinking about borderless windows.

If you want to create a test version that allows custom coordinates, I'd be happy to mess around with it. But I understand if you don't think it will work. I don't know anything about the innards.
