I will be re-wrting this soon to work better with Windows 10.
Auto-Hide Desktop will automatically hide your desktop icons and taskbar once the system has been physically idle for more than the users specified time. Programs default is 3 seconds. The user has the ability to auto start this program at system boot and change the idle delay in the settings found in the system tray.
ToggleDeskIcons(idle_time){
DetectHiddenWindows, On
ControlGet,id,Hwnd,,SysListView321,ahk_class Progman
If !id
ControlGet,id,Hwnd,,SysListView321,ahk_class WorkerW
If (A_TimeIdlePhysical >= idle_time)
{
If IsVisible(id)
WinHide, ahk_id %id%
Return "Desktop icons are hidden."
}
Else
{
If !IsVisible(id)
WinShow, ahk_id %id%
Return
}
}
I want my machine to operate the way I want it to and this is how I want it to behave. Normal auto-hide for the taskbar means you have to hover at the bottom and that's not how I want it to behave. Maybe there are others like me who feel the same way and here is an option.
Portable program (Plans for installer and portable option).
I have tested on Windows 10 32 Bit and Windows 7 64 Bit.
