What is PanelHider?

PanelHider

PanelHider is a super handy tool that helps you manage your windows like a pro. You know how Windows has some features, like the Snap feature, to help with window management? Well, PanelHider takes it up a notch! It not only helps you resize and position windows but also lets you hide them when they're not in focus. That means less clutter on your screen!

Easy to Use Anywhere

One of the best things about PanelHider is its portability. You can use it on different computers without any complicated setup. Just download it and you're good to go! Plus, if you're someone who likes to move around, you can keep it on a thumb drive and take it with you. And don't worry—it won't mess with the computer's registry, so everything stays nice and clean.

Simplified Window Management

When you launch PanelHider, it minimizes into the tray area where you'll find it most of the time. Clicking on its icon brings up a panel for setting up which windows to hide. This part might take a bit of getting used to because you'll be selecting a window class instead of just picking from a list.

A Little Patience Pays Off

If only there was an easy dropper tool to pick out target windows! But no worries—after some practice, adding any window becomes easy-peasy. When you hit the add button, just type in the window class information. The cool part? As you hover over desktop items, their classes pop up automatically!

Toggling Visibility Made Easy

You don't have to keep every window hidden either! With just one click, you can toggle their visibility back and forth as needed. Once set up, target windows stick to one side of your screen and will disappear when they lose focus. A little border stays visible so you know where they are—just hover your cursor over that area to bring them back!

Your New Favorite Tool

All in all, PanelHider is definitely worth keeping around if you're juggling multiple windows at once. You can choose where each window hides on your screen edge and while there's a small learning curve for adding them initially, it's totally worth it once you've got the hang of it!
