### Requirements

- Visual Studio

- Windows App SDK

- Windows App SDK (For VS 2022 C#) : https://aka.ms/windowsappsdk/stable-vsix-2022-cs or Windows App SDK (For VS 2019 C#) : https://aka.ms/windowsappsdk/stable-vsix-2019-cs

- Webview2 Evergreen Runtime (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/?form=MA13LH) or simply remove (comment out) the webview from code 

- WinUIex.  : https://github.com/dotMorten/WinUIEx?tab=readme-ov-file

You can find more information in here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/windows-app-sdk/set-up-your-development-environment?tabs=vs-2022

Because the included example docking window uses webview 2 you will also need to install Webview2 Evergreen Runtime (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/?form=MA13LH) or simply remove (comment out) the webview from code 

### Capabilities

- Allow docking to any side of the screen

- Multiple monitor support

- Handles per-monitor DPI scaling

- Does not show in switcher

- Excluded from aero peek

- Follows current window desktop theme

- Handles Drag and drop shortcut with deletion, autosaving and auto restore on startup

## To do

- allow for custom theme (currenlty only supports current desktop theme)
