- Hide windows after idle for 10 minutes, intended for usage with wallpaper engine backgrounds, but will work with other screensavers.
- Any interaction (keyboard usage, mouse movement) will bring windows back.
Call the script from the command line. Providing no arguments will set an idle_time trigger of 15 minutes.
py toggle_hide_windows.py -hOR
python toggle_hide_windows.py -h
- Set any interaction to bring windows back
- Run on startup with windows hidden

- Add command line argument to specify whether to run upon logon of current user
- Add command line argument to lock screen after trigger (upon user returning)
