Winaero Tweaker 0.2.2 released

Winaero Tweaker, my primary software project here at Winaero which consolidates all my tools has reached version 0.2.2. Unfortunately, last week I was not able to release a new version, but it is released now. Here is a brief description of the changes you will get in version 0.2.2.

Winaero Tweaker is finally here: an all-in-one application to manage Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1 and Windows 10 settings

Today is a significant day for Winaero. I have released the first public version of Winaero Tweaker - the application which will include all options from the numerous tools I created over the years. I had several reasons to create the Tweaker. Let me tell you why I made it.

Winaero XMouse Tuner

For unknown reasons, Windows always had a set of hidden features which can affect the X-Mouse feature behavior. Xmouse is a feature which allows the focus of windows to follow the mouse pointer, meaning, as you move the mouse pointer around, the window which is under the mouse pointer becomes the active window. In Windows Vista and later versions such as Windows 7, and Windows 8/8.1, Microsoft added a built-in option to turn on Xmouse, but it is very basic. I decided to create an advanced tweaking software for the XMouse feature.
The latest version is 1.0.0.1, see the change log below.

Opaque Taskbar for Windows 8 and Windows 10

Most annoying thing in Windows 8's appearance, beside Metro and Charms Bar of Desktop, is transparent Taskbar. It does not fit the opaque window frames and looks ugly.
I decide to fix it.
Last night my friend Tihiy, the author of StartIsBack solution, has shared with me the way to disable tasbkar transparency via DWM API. So I have created Opaque Taskbar for Windows 8.

Latest version is 2.7, see the change log below.
With v2.5 I decide to provide x64 version, for those who have removed x86 .NET components in x64 OS.
With help of this simple and lightweight application you will be able to make your taskbar Opaque in any time you want it. Also it can optionally run in the background or it can run once and then exit without taking memory. You can close it after you have disabled the transparency.
