Vele Tweakers zullen bekend zijn met 7+ Taskbar Tweaker, een programma waarmee de taakbalk van Windows 7 en hoger worden aangepast. Elke keer als er een nieuwe versie van Windows uitkwam was het een hoop werk voor de ontwikkelaar om het weer werkend te krijgen. Hij heeft als alternatief Windhawk ontwikkeld, wat van los toe te voegen modules gebruik maakt om niet alleen de taakbalk, maar ook andere onderdelen van Windows aan te passen. Zojuist is versie 1.6 uitgekomen en hierin zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen doorgevoerd:
New:For developers
- ARM64 support. Windhawk can now be installed on ARM64 versions of Windows, and customization of native ARM64 programs is fully supported. Customization of x86 and x64 programs on ARM64 Windows has some limitations, which might be improved in the future. Some mods may need to be adjusted by their authors to work correctly on ARM64 Windows.
- Updated the default process exclusion rules to exclude known incompatible programs and some well-known games. Additionally, the special handling of pattern inclusion rules for critical system processes is now configurable per mod. For details, please refer to the documentation.
- When exploring mods, the selected language is now used for the names and descriptions of localized mods. Previously, English was always used on the "Explore" page.
- The toolkit dialog is no longer shown automatically when a fullscreen program or game is running.
- The Windhawk UI no longer restarts when advanced settings are changed — only the background processes are.
- Added the
-safe-modecommand-line switch.- Improved debug symbol iteration speed, especially noticeable with very large symbol files.
- Improved mod unloading. Windhawk now attempts to wait for mods to finish running before unloading them, which could otherwise cause a crash.
- Added support for non-ASCII text in debug logs.
- Fixed an error caused by Windhawk in some cases: "Not enough space for thread data." To apply the fix, install or update at least one mod after the Windhawk update, then restart Windhawk.
- Fixed an incompatibility error that could occur in some programs when certain mods were used: "The procedure entry point ... could not be located." To apply the fix, reinstall or update all affected mods.
- Fixed an issue where Windhawk attempted to load
winhttp.dllfrom the current directory, causing incompatibility problems in some cases.- Fixed an issue where Windhawk caused console programs to fail to launch in rare Windows configurations.
- Added the following translations: Croatian, Czech, Danish, Greek, Hungarian, Indonesian, Tamil, and Vietnamese.
- Other minor bug fixes and improvements.
- Added the
Wh_GetModStoragePathAPI that returns a directory path that can be used by the mod to store any necessary files.- Added an option to the
Wh_GetUrlContentAPI to download to a given file path.- The compiler was updated from Clang 18.1.8 to Clang 20.1.3. Several mods require minor adjustments before they can be compiled with the new Windhawk version. When installed from the repository, the mods are compiled in a compatibility mode, and all existing mods can be installed.
- Updated the WinRT headers to include WinUI 2 and WinUI 3 definitions.
