A simple app that lets you pin windows to your desktop and use fullscreen programs and videos as interactive wallpapers.
There is now a save button on the Current Apps tab. This will automatically copy the selected windows' properties including its size, file path, and position to the "Add to startup" menu so you can quickly design and save your config by laying out real apps as opposed to typing in values manually and testing them.
A close button has been added which allows you to quickly close any chosen app that is a child of the desktop. This is especially useful when you accidentally lose an app beyond screen borders and don't want to dig through Task Manager for it.
Locking apps has been massively upgraded. You can now lock on a per-app basis, and they won't get stuck between other apps. You can then remove the lock by finding the "LockWindow for locked app name", selecting it and closing it with the aforementioned button as you would any other app. Alternatively you can click on the locked window and just press Alt+F4 to unlock it.
This feature is experimental and draws a near-invisible window over each of your pinned apps. As these windows are not sent to the desktop they may occasionally end up above active applications, blocking interaction. If this happens, you can use <Kbd>Alt</Kbd>+<Kbd>↹</Kbd> to access the application and it shouldn't bother you again, or if for some reason you can't access anything properly, <Kbd>Alt</Kbd>+<Kbd>F4</Kbd> or closing ADP will get rid of the lock. To avoid this problem in the first place, make sure any normal application is not obscuring the current apps on the desktop (pressing <Kbd>Win</Kbd>+<Kbd>M</Kbd> to minimise all apps before locking works well to ensure this).
I will aim to get these issues fixed in a future release alongside saving app positions and sizes.
R3 brings the ability to save apps to start on-launch, as well as a new icon. I'm lazy and it's 3AM as I write this, however the readme has been updated with instructions on how to use the new options. If there are any bugs, sorry :c (I did actually try to test it a little bit this time though so you can't blame me for that)
ok now it works properly and wont eat CPU
So I think I fixed the weird issue where it sometimes doesnt run but absolutely no idea if it actually fixes anything please do tell me i beg you
R2.1 just adds compatibility down to at least 1709 (not that you should be using anything even as old as that smh). Other than that, it's identical to R2.
Welp, this version introduces weird race conditions and won't always work on every build. Use R2 instead. I'll get a patch out to fix this soon I suppose.
Uhh I technically probably fixed some bugs but there's now more than 7 lines of code so there are probably a million more bugs that need to be fixed, either way R2 brings three new things:
Right now this release basically functions as a utility to make windows a child of the desktop, however Soon™ it will be able to:
But until then, it's just a button, some text and the B key. Have fun I suppose.
