Link doesn't work :frown:

AyushJ 20. April 2007, 23:59

It works for me. Here is the direct link. :D

AVWinfield 30. April 2007, 03:32

How to install WinChanger, I dont know how, if you can tell me what to do, then I will try it myself, while I will learn how it works. Thanks.

AyushJ 30. April 2007, 03:46

Just download the WinChanger.exe file and run the commands.

For example- if you downloaded the WinChanger.exe to your C:\ drive, then you can run it by going to Start-Run-Type:
c:\WinChanger.exe Window-Disable:#ClassShell_TrayWnd
^^ it will disable your Start-Menu button, to enable-Press WindowsKey+R:
c:\WinChanger.exe Window-Enable:#ClassShell_TrayWnd
ENTER!

AVWinfield 30. April 2007, 07:10

Yeah, I got it worked, Thanks!

Hello AyushJ !

Thanks a lot for powerfull WinChanger !
Whould you integrate a set size of windows border to it. I'd like zero-sized borders. Especially for Opera !!!

Thanks in advance.

D555 3. May 2007, 21:51

Or command to just hide windows borders .
Thanks.

D555 3. May 2007, 21:54

To turn borders off :smile:.

AyushJ 5. May 2007, 00:12

Can you explain what you want ? Which borders :confused:

To hide the titlebar- you can run:
WinChanger.exe Window-Title:TITLE,0

Kite Geek 26. June 2007, 15:37

O,o WOW! I found you cause you posted to my feedback on the forums. This is the best. I have been using View All Windows, it is nice, and Windows List even nicer... But, from reading what you posted here that is the best.

Oh, I Spotlighted this. I love ANYTHING to do with making windows better.

epilos 4. July 2007, 05:29

running the program nothing happens :S

epilos 4. July 2007, 05:29

AyushJ 4. July 2007, 05:47

You have to run the program from command prompt (or start>run) because there is no GUI e.g.
winchanger.exe path Window-Title:Opera,0

@AyushJ I did buttons to hide/show title window of Opera, but when the title window is hide and I click on Opera in the taskbar him minimize and when I click again the window back like fullscreen (over taskbar), it's a bug?

D555 4. April 2008, 03:52

WinChanger just calls the Windows API to hide the taskbar so I can't do much about it :frown: That's how Windows works..

Y: 1=Show borders,0=Hide borders, Not Specified:Toggle

and does it will be possible - WinChanger version for Linux ?
It will be really great too, because of high popularity of Linux now...

Engelium 28. May 2009, 12:23

Hi

I've just discovered your great tool :up:

However It seems having some lack... infact it works only with the windows opened at the time you execute it but it doesn't affect any other windows you open after ... an action that who (like me) browses hundred pages have to perform very often...

So... is there any way to keep WinChanger "in background" so it can catch every window that suits with a certain rule? (e.g. Opera)

Tanks a lot :smile:


EDIT:
also... I've just noticed that WinChanger interact ONLY with one window of the chosen application (generally the latest active) ... so if you have multiple windows of Opera or even the Explorer with a folder named Opera this tool doesn't properly work

Is WinChanger available to download somewhere? The http://snipurl.com/WinChanger link above seems to be dead.
