Trivia

Window Dance isn't that flexible because you cannot modify the scale of the window, most likely because of issues in other operating systems (Mac/Linux). A lot of creators use a fake window dance that uses 1 room for the window border and 1 room for stuff happening inside of the window. The Window Dance event has a room setting visible, even if it doesn't do anything.
