What's new in ZHider 2.00
Sep 9, 2010
- Bugs fixed:
- ZHider will cease maintaining lists of windows to processes that have terminated and/or no longer valid windows.
- Features added:
- Hidden/added window list is now partially transparent while moving it.
- You can supply ZHider with command-line instructions for launching processes forcibly hidden. Unfortunately, a process may decide to create many (or no) windows, so it's not possible for ZHider to determine which is the 'main' window for the application. As a result, ZHider will add all top-level windows with a non-blank titlebar name that the new process creates within 5 seconds to its list of managed/hidden windows.
- Automatic pass-through of command-line instructions to a global instance of ZHider. You can use multiple command-line instructions without spawning multiple instances of this program.
- zHider now makes an attempt at hiding itself from the standard Task Manager using DLL injection and window subclassing. It will also attempt to make invisible/hidden windows also hidden in Task Manager. This method isn't foolproof as other task and process-listing applications will be able to detect the processes. You can use /noinjection to disable this feature.
- Features removed:
- WIN+L has been removed from the hotkey list as it will not work on current or future versions of Windows anyway (locks the computer).
New in ZHider 1.02 (Sep 9, 2010)
- Miscellaneous:
- Program renamed from Hider to ZHider.
New in ZHider 1.01 (Sep 9, 2010)

- Window list now uses a grid that displays window ID and class ID of windows in the list.
New in ZHider 1.00 (Sep 9, 2010)
- Bugs fixed:
- Fixed a bug causing crashes and freezes whenever a second, third, etc. window was removed before the first (not possible in version 'beta 0.01').
- Unhiding windows that were maximized caused them to show up in their restored size instead of maximized.
- Features updated:
- Changed program icon from yellow-green square to an uninteresting computer.
- Removed bloat/unnecessary code.
- Features added:
- Added window list (CTRL+ALT+L and WIN+L) feature and version information.
