Thanks for the app, I prefer it not to be visible when sharing so this patch hides the border and window title unless you focus the app with alt-tab or clicking on it in the task bar. Teams shows a red border around the window locally anyways so you can see the area being shared.

This patch is not working for me. While i am sharing the screen on Teams, others can still see the blue border and the Ultra Wide Screen Share 2.0 title.

By the way, really really many thanks for the app. I saw your comment on a Microsoft forum and downloaded the app. Without this, my UW monitor would have been terrible to use for work :)

This patch is not working for me. While i am sharing the screen on Teams, others can still see the blue border and the Ultra Wide Screen Share 2.0 title.

It only hides the border if the UltraWideScreenShare window is not selected, so you start it, set it to the size/position you want, then when you click into some other window/app (including anything in the area shared), the border/titlebar should disappear - then if you want it back you have to click the UltraWideScreenShare in the task bar to bring it back to focus.

The owner of this repo doesn't really seem interested in maintaining it (and I'm not either lol), but I do have a fork that has builds of this change and also saving the last size/position. I don't plan on doing any more work on this as it does what I need now. My fork is at https://github.com/rgrice/UltraWideScreenShare-2

Sorry I'm not a coder and new to GitHub. I didn't understand how to download your fork. I don't see an executable file or a portable zip. Any help pls?
