New features:

  • settings parameter to hide application window from Taskbar
  • settings parameter to change opacity of the application
  • settings parameters for desktop padding and icon padding in settings dialog
  • Icons render mode supports a second row when there isn't enough space in one row
  • New alternative render mode: Show a list of application icons instead windows
  • Save render mode & current window position (on request) to registry and restore them from there on startup
  • Windows can be brought to front when clicking on them
  • a separate settings dialog to easily change

Changes:

  • Changed version management to have the application manifest as source so also the executable is correctly versioned
  • Instance creation has now several fallbacks so it should work on several Win 10 and Win 11 versions
  • no longer allow mouse clicks to bring windows from another desktop to foreground
  • Added tooltips / infos in the settings dialog for some of the settings which need an explanation
  • layout improvements in settings dialog
  • Icons render mode now also supports selection as well as drag & drop to other desktops
  • the context menu now also has some nice icons based on glyphs
  • nicer about-dialog

Bug fixes

  • Get it run on recent Windows 11 version again
  • Filter minimized windows from list, especially important for the icons render mode
  • Clicking on windows in Icons render mode now works reliably when an application has more than one window
  • fixing performance properties
  • Update application size when number of desktops are changed

Others:

  • removed not used properties and functions
  • Some refactoring and cleanup

I just have seen another fork from @ice00. He also has integrated support for the more recent Windows 11 build 24H2 build which I don't have installed for testing yet.
