Window Manager

It controls the visibility of all windows open on one's computer. It can also kill a window and change its name, very easily. It's pretty simple to get, I think. It minimizes to the tray, so as not to get in the way, and double-right click brings it back up.

Kinda useful.

The clicking on the tray is a bit weird, why not just a regular click to hide/show?

It would be cool, too, if double-clikcing a window entry added it to the lower pane, for editing (the lower pane could do with a title, too, so you know what it's for - not that it takes a lot of figuring out, but still).

Changing their name doesn't actually do anything. Is it supposed to? I found the whole lower pane a bit strange, the editing behaviour, though I know myself that getting these things to behave can be tricky sometimes in AutoIt.

It's handy, though, I'll keep it around!

well somebody else please give feedback on this, does changing the name work for you guys? it seems to for me. I will look into the double-click to add. I think double click to toggle shown/hidden could be useful. The lower pane's purpose is to help keep track of the windows that you have hidden, without searching through the list. (To change the name, type a new one in the bottom bar (when the window is selected in the lower pane). Sounds a bit confusing, actually very simple. I'll work on the double click though.

haven't tried it yet, I will when i get home, but if you want ideas or anything, you can look at my window manager: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=46819

Hmm seems like you have a good start. Heres mine in case your interested. It basically has it's own scripting language built in so you can make it do things based on a set of conditions. I thought it was cool at least xD

Window Manager 2.0.au3 is the script you need to run. All the other scripts are just includes.
