Refactor to modern CustomTkinter GUI with modular architecture - #1
Merged
Conversation
- Replace the legacy Tkinter GUI + VBS/BAT launchers with a single CustomTkinter app (sidebar navigation: Home, Hotkeys, Settings, About) - Run the hotkey engine in-process instead of a subprocess with move_pixels.txt file IPC; hotkeys are unchanged - Move help and theme popups into proper pages inside the app - Persist settings to %APPDATA%\WindowControlTool\settings.json - Fix the broken multi-monitor hotkey (missing win32api import) and make it wrap around monitors - Add packaging (pyproject.toml, requirements.txt) and a GitHub Actions workflow that lints, builds WindowControlTool.exe and attaches it to releases on version tags - Add README, CONTRIBUTING, CODE_OF_CONDUCT, issue/PR templates, .gitignore; relicense under MIT - Remove the old scripts and assets https://claude.ai/code/session_011BNLUVMFyL8WymEQG8myTp

Summary
Complete rewrite of the Window Control Tool from a basic Tkinter GUI to a modern, modular application using CustomTkinter. The codebase is now properly structured as a Python package with separated concerns: GUI, hotkey engine, window actions, and configuration management.
Key Changes
New GUI (
src/window_control_tool/gui.py): Modern CustomTkinter interface with a sidebar navigation system featuring four pages (Home, Hotkeys, Settings, About). Replaces the old Tkinter-basedtogglewindowsGUI.pywith a cleaner, more maintainable design.Modular architecture:
hotkeys.py: Global hotkey registration and management with theHotkeyEngineclasswindow_actions.py: Isolated win32 window operations (move, resize, opacity, always-on-top)config.py: Persistent settings stored in%APPDATA%\WindowControlToolinstead of local JSON files__main__.py: Proper entry point for both source and packaged exe executionRemoved legacy files: Deleted
togglewindows.py,togglewindowsGUI.py,GUI.vbs, and related configuration files (move_pixels.txt,settings.json, image assets)License change: Replaced GPLv2 with MIT license
Project metadata: Added
pyproject.tomlfor proper Python packaging,requirements.txtfor dependencies, and comprehensive documentation (README.md,CONTRIBUTING.md,CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md)CI/CD: Added GitHub Actions workflow (
.github/workflows/build.yml) for linting, building Windows exe with PyInstaller, and automated releasesIssue templates: Added bug report and feature request templates for better issue management
