A video demo
On Windows, you don't commonly have to ask other windows about whether they want to be part of your Multi-Document Interface, so I wrote a little Windows Forms application that lets you set up columns and insert windows into them.
I also wrote a little browser extension so that the column can auto-expand when clicking on images on Twitter/Cohost/Mastodon.
The result is amusing - you can have feeds from different social networks, or different accounts, or even non-browser things all inside one "dashboard".
But also there's a little theme editor so you can do whatever you want in general.
Apparently the only way to recolor a scrollbar is to write your own scrollbar from scratch (no wonder the custom scrollbars in web browsers all look slightly off) so I'll think about this at a later time.
Also it can now re-insert windows into columns when re-opening a deck and there's a tiny update checker. Grab it from itch
Full changelog
New things
- You can now have multiple decks!
Each one has its own columns and can have its own color theme. - You can now automatically re-insert windows into columns when re-opening a deck!
Good if you have a lot of windows / re-open the tool often. Configurable in deck settings. - There's now an option to auto-crop "normal" window borders!
(thanks to Spitfire_x86) - There's now a very basic update checker because I found that you can ask itch about the version and it'll respond with 20 bytes of JSON.
Improvements
- Lightbox extension is now a little smarter about what is worth and what isn't worth showing in a lightbox (e.g. cohost GIFs aren't shown in the lightbox because I can't figure out how to get the full GIF URL from the thumbnail).
Fixes
- Fixed an oddity where minimizing the window could collapse deck contents into zero-height windows.
(technically that's how Windows works - minimized windows are just very small and very far away)
