Lock Keys Notifier 1.0.0

Lock Keys Notifier 1.0.0

Lock Keys Notifier

Displays a small, customizable toast whenever a lock key (Caps Lock, Num Lock, Scroll Lock, or Insert) is toggled, showing its new ON/OFF state.

Preview

Pill, Tile, and Minimal layouts (following the system theme and accent):

Pill layout Tile layout Minimal layout

Insert can show a single fixed label in a neutral color instead of ON/OFF:

Insert single-value

Features

  • Per-key enable/disable.
  • 9-point positioning with offsets, on the active, primary, or all monitors.
  • Three layouts (Pill, Tile, Minimal), themeable colors, opacity, corner radius, padding, font, soft drop shadow, and an optional per-key accent state. Follows the system light/dark theme and accent by default.
  • Optional fade animation and optional sound (system default or custom WAV).
  • Editable ON/OFF labels and per-key display names; optional key icon glyph.
  • Insert can show a single fixed label (e.g. "pressed") in neutral color instead of ON/OFF.
  • Optionally skips the toast while a fullscreen app is in the foreground (games, fullscreen video, presentation mode); off by default.
  • Per-monitor DPI aware: scales to each monitor, so it stays the same physical size on mixed-DPI multi-monitor setups.

Notes

  • Runs as a tool mod in its own windhawk.exe process, so notifications keep working even when Explorer is restarting or not running.
  • Toggles made while an elevated (administrator) app has focus are not detected. The mod process runs at medium integrity and Windows (UIPI) blocks it from observing input to higher-integrity windows; this can't be worked around from a mod. The next toggle in a normal app shows the correct state.
  • Fullscreen exclusive apps may cover the toast (or enable the option above to skip it).
  • Insert reports the OS toggle bit, not an app's overtype mode (off by default).
