SmartContextMenuLogo128 SmartContextMenu


SmartContextMenu adds a context menu to all windows in the system. This program is enhanced version of SmartSystemMenu. I hope it will be more convenient, because it supports all types of windows, including windows without a system menu. It should also be more stable and lightweight, as it does not use hooks in separate dll modules. To use the app, please, run the file SmartContextMenu.exe, move the mouse cursor to the necessary window and use the hotkeys “Ctrl + Right Mouse Button”. All the menu settings and hotkeys can be changed in the settings dialog of the system tray, as well as in the file SmartContextMenu.xml. Available menu items:

  • Information. Shows a dialog with information of the current window and process: the window handle, the window caption, the window style, the window class, the process name, the process id, the path to the process.
  • Aero Glass. Allows to add the "Aero Glass" blur to the current window. (Windows Vista and higher. Mostly for console windows.)
  • Always On Top. Allows the current window to stay on top of all other windows.
  • Borderless. Allows you to turn your windowed games into "Borderless" mode.
  • Dimmer. Dims all but the currently focused window.
  • Hide. Allows to hide the current window.
  • Roll Up. Allows to roll up and down the current window.
  • Send To Bottom. Allows to send to bottom the current window.
  • Save Screenshot. Allows to save the current window screenshot in a file.
  • Open File In Explorer. Allows to open a process file in a File Explorer.
  • Click Through. Allows to click through the current window.
  • Hide For Alt+Tab. Allows to hide the current window for the Taskbar and Alt+Tab switch.

  • Priority. Allows to change the current window's program priority.
  • Clipboard. Allows to copy all window texts (including console, ms office products, etc.) to clipboard and clear clipboard.
