Say you want to have your display launch as a hidden window that goes fullscreen when clicked on. You can store the flags inside a variable called flags and then pass it into display.set_mode() as shown.
```Python
flags = pygame.FULLSCREEN | pygame.HIDDEN   
#store flags for fullscreen and hidden in variable 'flags'
window_surface = pygame.display.set_mode((1920, 1080), flags, vsync=1) 
#create a display of size 1920 * 1080p and with the fullscreen and hidden flags
```

There are multiple flags you can choose when calling display.set_mode() to customize your display. You can chain multiple flags together using the or operator |.
```Python
pygame.FULLSCREEN    #create a fullscreen display
pygame.DOUBLEBUF     #recommended for HWSURFACE or OPENGL
pygame.HWSURFACE     #hardware accelerated, only in FULLSCREEN
pygame.OPENGL        #create an OpenGL-renderable display
pygame.RESIZABLE     #display window should be sizeable
pygame.NOFRAME       #display window will have no border or controls
```
Pygame 2 includes the following extra flags:
```Python
pygame.SCALED        #resolution depends on desktop size and scale graphics
pygame.SHOWN         #window is opened in visible mode (default)
pygame.HIDDEN        #window is opened in hidden mode
```
