Major Update to Window Hider

Category: Defense, Tool

I spent the last few days doing a major overhaul on Window Hider.  Rebuilt the GUI, added some features, and overall just beefed it up.  I also added a page dedicated to Window Hider since it is one of the most popular downloads.

I expanded the hot corner features a little to allow you to choose if the hot corner will only hide the windows or if it will toggle hide and show.  I added this feature mostly because when you lock your computer it puts the mouse at 0,0 and will unhide your windows without your knowing it.  Also it is a little to easy to hit that corner on accident while your boss is standing there.  Set this feature on the settings page.

Second I added the ability to filter the processes based on their title.  So now you can have two copies of Internet Explorer for example, one with work on it and the other with hulu or some other favorite site.  The filter just looks to see if the title contains the string so partial strings work as well.  Further you can leave the process name field blank to just hide all processes by name.

Third I improved the process adding method.  Now there is a form that pops up and gathers information so you can more easily define what your looking for.  Also I added an icon on the add process dialog that when drug over the top of other windows will fill in the boxes with that windows process and title.
