    [SOLVED] Does resizable bar have a requirement for opengl/directx/vulkan version of any kind?

    For supported games. As well as using profile inspector to make it work in non-whitelisted games. Does the game need to be DX12/openGL 4.6 or latest vulkan version or something for it to "do anything" Or does it work as far back as DX9 and older versions of openGL?
