  • Backup & restore. This has probably been the most requested Windhawk feature for a long time. You can now easily back up your Windhawk mods and settings, and restore them later. This is especially useful if you want to transfer your mods to another computer or if you need to reinstall Windhawk.
  • Light theme. Since the first public release, Windhawk has only had a dark theme. A light theme is now available for users who prefer a brighter interface. In the settings, you can switch between the dark and light themes, or have Windhawk follow your system theme.
  • Mod settings expand/collapse. The mod settings tab now has an expand button that expands the settings to fill the window. This provides more room for mods with many settings, and makes them easier to read and edit.
  • Textual settings formatting is preserved. Formatting such as comments and blank lines is now preserved in the textual settings editor.
  • Ctrl+S on the Advanced tab saves the focused field. Applies to mod settings, custom process inclusion, and custom process exclusion.
  • The mod list refreshes when the main window regains focus. This is especially useful when a new mod is compiled in the development environment. Previously, you had to manually refresh the mod list to see the new mod.
  • Tray notification icon for mod updates. The tray icon now shows a badge when mod updates are available.
  • The Windhawk service is now a 64-bit process. Windhawk no longer supports 32-bit Windows, so the service is built as a 64-bit process. In practice, nothing changes aside from the architecture shown in Task Manager. Windhawk is still compatible with 32-bit processes.
  • Command-line interface improvements. Added backup and restore commands (data export, data inspect, data import). mod settings set now takes one or more key=value pairs, replacing the old mod settings set <id> <key> <value> form. Other minor improvements.
  • Added a Norwegian translation.
  • Other minor improvements and bug fixes.

Notes:

  • Upgrading from version 1.x will preserve all of your settings and mods.
  • You can set the environment variable WINDHAWK_USE_VSCODIUM_UI=1 to temporarily revert to the old VSCodium-based UI. This variable will be removed in the future. After changing it, a reboot might be required.
