This should be the user's choice, and you can already do that with your window manager.

I had the same though too, it should be left to the user's choice. Some of them have tiling window managers and stuff that could break.

I mean you could always use sf::Style::Fullscreen if you have no choice. Just don't control the windows for them ;)

I agree with the others, such a feature only leads to pop-up like behavior which is extremely annoying at best.

Newly opened windows appear automatically at the top. And generally, it should be up to the user to give windows the focus.
