Hi,

I would like to use a boss-key application while I'm using the pokerstars' client (boss-key = an application that hides your active windows).

The problem with several applications that I tried, is the following:

The pokerstars' window does get minimized... however, the tournament still runs in the hidden window, so when it's over, the pokerstars window re-appears to display the message saying that the tournament is over. Is there any way to change that?

I tried to disable the popup message in the pokerstars' client, however when I apply that option, the lobby window pops up.

Is there a way to keep all pokerstars activity hidden?

Thanks!

It keeps your boss from seeing your jack*** off on company time, right? So how is that NOT what you wanted?

If it’s not; then you need to speak with Marvin the Mindreader, so he can figure what you want.

autohotkey should be able to do this pretty easily

Code:

#NoEnv
#Warn
SendMode Input
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%
Return

^q::
{
WinGetActiveTitle, WinTitle
WinHide, %WinTitle%
Return
}

^w::
{
WinShow, %WinTitle%
Return
}

That only does one window at a time though, but you get the idea. It's not that much more difficult to keep track of how many windows are hidden and create/drop spots on a faux-array as you hide/un-hide them.
