It depends on whatever the thing is supported as some 'option/property'
(brightness,...) or it's just runtime modifieable (window position).
In some cases the modification can't be even made before the
window is opened as
a) you don't know how the window look-like
b) SDL doesn't support such thing (i.e. window movement/placement is
not supported by SDL and is being 'hacked' over the top of SDL)
You may call Start(), Pause() but I affraid there is not much I could
currently do with the present architecture.
