MonsterDeck v0.1.2

What's New in v0.1.2

Stream Deck Integration Fix

This release fixes a critical window activation issue when using Stream Deck hardware buttons. Previously, windows would activate but not reliably come to the foreground, especially when multiple windows from other applications were on top.

Changes

• Ultra-aggressive window activation: Enhanced the window activation mechanism to use the HWND_TOPMOST technique, which temporarily makes the target window topmost to force it above all other windows
• Stream Deck parity: Ensures identical behavior between clicking MonsterDeck UI and pressing Stream Deck buttons
• Bug fixes: Fixed assembly name mismatch in Stream Deck plugin that prevented new code from loading
• Build improvements: Fixed package.bat to reference correct Inno Setup script

Technical Details

The fix modifies BringToFrontWindowHandle() in ShellHelpers.cs to:

1. Temporarily set the target window as HWND_TOPMOST (always-on-top)
2. Force Z-order priority to bring it above all other windows
3. Immediately remove the topmost flag so it doesn't stay always-on-top

This works reliably even when there are many windows from other applications (like multiple browser windows) in front.

Installation

Download and run MonsterDeck-0.1.2-Setup.exe to install or upgrade.
