How to execute an autohotkey script when launching a specific application


I have successfully used to following autohotkey script to achieve what I want (remove title bar and window frame from a windowed game):

;-Caption
LWIN & LButton::
WinSet, Style, -0xC00000, A
return
;

;+Caption
LWIN & RButton::
WinSet, Style, +0xC00000, A
return
;

What I want is for "WinSet, Style, -0xC00000, A" to be executed automatically when a specific application is launched.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!


Solution

  • Simply make an AHK launcher for the game and use it instead of the shortcut icon or taskbar icon or whatever else you're using to launch the game.

    Run, d:\somepath\game.exe
    WinWait Game window title goes here
    WinSet, Style, -0xC00000
    ExitApp
