ZHider 2.0 - Changelog

What's new in ZHider 2.00:

September 9th, 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· ZHider will cease maintaining lists of windows to processes that have terminated and/or no longer valid windows.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).
