auto-hide-desktop's Introduction

Auto-Hide Desktop (+ ShowDesk)

Under Construction

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.

Example Code - Toggling desktop icons

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
        }
}

Motivation

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.

Installation

Portable program (Plans for installer and portable option).

Test

I have tested on Windows 10 32 Bit and Windows 7 64 Bit.
