After a lot of work of rewriting the whole software in C# (Instead of AutoIt as before), we finally happy to announce the next big version of WindowTop!

What new in v5.x.x?

1. Modern UI is now everywhere!

In v4, we introduced a new modern toolbar. but the old UI was still there.

Any of these options can also have hotkey.
You can configure hotkey via the hotkeys page under settings page

4. Improvements for the Shrink feature

Fixed bugs that you see “Shrink box” in the program switcher (When you press ALT+TAB).
In the old version you see it here:

In the new version, you will no longer see the shrink-box when you do alt+tab
In addition, the Shrink feature works much faster and better.

5. Better dark/reading mode and Glass mode

In v5, the dark/reading mode will work faster and consume less CPU power due to optimizations we made

More configurations

Added option to enable/disable the filter images option for dark-mode and glass effects:

This is usefull to improve performences
