Window Master : Manage, control and customize opened windows using this tool with support for transparency, shading, top flagging, ignore list, and more
Window Master is an application that enables you to manage and sort currently opened windows on the desktop. It supports two virtual desktops along with window transparency and shading, among other options.
Setup and systray integration
Installing it is easy, since there are no special options, third-party offers, or software requirements involved. It creates an icon in the systray at startup and silently runs there to facilitate quick access to its options while letting you carry on with your normal PC activity without any interruptions.
Control and customize windows
It's possible to adjust any window's transparency level after examining their titles, handles and IDs, make a window stay on top of other frames, edit a window's title, put together a list with windows that will not be affected by the program, as well as show and hide all opened windows with one click.As we previously mentioned, there are two virtual desktops. The first one keeps the windows in the way they were arranged before launching Window Master, while the second minimizes everything to show the desktop clean. Plus, the tool can be integrated into the Windows autostart sequence, so that it automatically runs every time you boot your computer, until disabled.
Evaluation and conclusion
The tool hasn't received updates for a long time and this is probably why we've encountered some functionality and display issues on newer OS editions. It had a slow response time to commands and failed to restore windows to their original state after exiting.Nevertheless, Window Master can still be used on older Windows models if you're looking to control and manage opened windows to clear out your desktop easily. It has intuitive options that can be tackled by less experienced users. CPU and RAM consumption was minimal in our tests.
