Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

electron-panel-window

This fork of electron-panel-window. It works on macOS Ventura (tested). It works with Electron 21.x. (tested).

There are few caveats.

1. titleBarStyle should have the value 'customButtonsOnHover'

This will show two buttons on top left (to close and maximize the window). You can hide them by setting:

  • closable: false
  • maximizable: false

Beware that you may need some additional logic if you actually need to close the window, as win.close() won't work at this point. (you can check the test to see how we did this)

This looks no longer necessary in version 3.

2. setVisibleOnAllWorkspaces(true) cannot be used on these windows

Apparently it causes everything to crash.

3. Crash on quit

There are usually some electron crash when quitting an app with a panel window. Usually they can be fixed by:

  1. hiding the panel window
  2. make another window as key (use makeKeyWindow on another window)
  3. transform the panel in a normal window (use makeWindow)
  4. close the window
  5. quit the app

We have noticed less/no crashes if steps 2-5 are execture after a setTimout like:

win.hide()
setTimeout(()=>{
    electronPanelWindow.makeKeyWindow(otherWin)
    electronPanelWindow.makeWindow(win)
    win.close()
    app.quit()
})

Other

Removed win and linux support as it was empty in the first place.

You may want to include the package dynamically:

const electronPanelWindow = process.platform === 'darwin' ? require('electron-panel-window') : undefined

Issues

Feel free to open an issue, and report other "workarounds" to keep this working.

Methods

Install

npm install @akiflow/electron-panel-window

require

const electronPanelWindow = process.platform === 'darwin' ? require('@akiflow/electron-panel-window') : undefined
  1. makeKeyWindow(win) focus the window without activating the application
  2. makePanel(win) transform the given window in a panel
  3. makeWindow(win) transform the given panel in a window (useful before quitting)
