Window Hider

Window Hider is a simple and straightforward command line utility designed to provide help in toggling the window of applications on and off. While some users may view the use of commands as an impediment, in reality the tool is suitable for less technical users as well, especially since they do not need to do anything else than keep the application open and use the registered hotkeys to hide or show a window.

Once launched, the application provides the default hotkeys for hiding and respectively showing a program's window. According to the developer, the hotkeys cannot be customized to anything else and this may cause some conflicts with other applications that are used at the same time.

It would have been nice if the utility allowed users to set their own key combinations not only to avoid conflicts, but also for more convenience. Then again, the developer plans to include customizable hotkeys and even command line parameters in a future release.

Hiding windows via the tool can be done as long as the application is running and this can come in handy when working on a project with other third-party tools whose windows keep hiding. All the hidden ones are going to show on program exit.
