Windowless-Executable

Steam Group

(TL;DR) For the lazy

The latest release (v1.1.1.0) may be found here.

Description

A Win32 executable that does nothing. No windows, no operations, nothing. Just perpetually sleeps.

Uses

  • Set your Steam status using a non-Steam game
  • Hide the game you're currently playing by running Windowless-Executable with a blank name

Features

  • Minimalistic UX design
  • Small resource footprint
  • Small file
  • Hand-programmed

Usage

Just launch it. That's about it. You can run it through Steam if you want to set your Steam status (ie with a non-Steam game shortcut).

Known issues

  • Only compiles under Windows
  • Requires Visual Studio
  • May be blocked by SmartScreen (sorry, can't be arsed to get my code signed :^))

Compiling

Prerequisites (required for all options)

  • Visual Studio
  • A brain

Using Visual Studio tools (the cool haxory way)

cl main.c /SUBSYSTEM

Using our compile script (the braindead way)

compile (version)

or just

compile

Yep, it's that easy.
