## History
It was developed by Maurice Flanagan in 2009 and was provided as free and paid versions originally.   
The author who no longer has time to maintain it has open-sourced it. See the original repository: [mauricef/WindowTabs](https://github.com/mauricef/WindowTabs).

This repository is a fork of [payaneco's repository](https://github.com/payaneco/WindowTabs) which is from [redgis'](https://github.com/redgis/WindowTabs). Now, it compiles and runs successfully on both Win7 and Win10.

## Download

It's recommended to compile the exe file as below. If not, you could find my prebuilt files at [releases](https://github.com/leafOfTree/WindowTabs/releases).

## Compilation

It should work on both Win7 and Win10.

- Clone

    ```
    git clone https://github.com/leafOfTree/WindowTabs
    ```

- Install

    - [Visual Studio 2019 community edition](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/)

        `.NET desktop development` needs to be selected in the installer.

    - [WiX Toolset build tools V3.11.2](http://wixtoolset.org/releases)

    - [Wix Toolset Visual Studio 2019 Extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=WixToolset.WixToolsetVisualStudio2019Extension)

- Compile

    Lanuch Visual Studio, open this project, and Click `Start`. Then it will compile to `WindowTabs\WtProgram\bin\Debug\WindowTabs.exe`.

    If you choose the `Release` configuration, you will get a release version `WindowTabs\WtProgram\bin\Release\WindowTabs.exe`.
