  Games launch in front in shell mode (minimize self, restore on exit)

  LastSkywalker released this 2026-05-28 08:39:27 +03:00 | 56 commits to main since this release

  In shell mode GameSaver is the fullscreen foreground window. Games are
  started by their launcher (Steam/Epic/EA), which isn't the foreground
  process, so Windows' foreground lock kept the game window BEHIND our
  shell — the user saw GameSaver, not the game.

  Fix: after LaunchGame in shell mode, call MinimizeSelf() — with no
  foreground blocker the game takes the screen. When the playtime tracker
  reports the game exited (playtime:changed with endedAt), RestoreSelf()
  un-minimises + raises us (always-on-top toggle), so the user lands back
  on the carousel instead of a black screen (no Explorer behind us).

  Playtime poll interval 30s → 6s so the restore-after-exit happens
  within a few seconds rather than up to half a minute. tasklist
  snapshots are cheap.
