![]() - Closes #18610 This PR addresses the same issue as PR #18578. After a full day of research and testing, I believe I’ve found the best solution to resolve this issue. With this PR, the window creation behavior on Windows becomes more consistent with macOS: - When `params.show` is `true`: The window is created and immediately displayed. - When `params.show` is `false`: The window is created but remains hidden until the first call to `activate_window`. As I mentioned in #18578, `winit` creates hidden windows by setting the window's `exstyle` to `WS_EX_NOACTIVATE | WS_EX_TRANSPARENT | WS_EX_LAYERED | WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW`, which is different from the method used in this PR. Here, the window is created with normal parameters, but we do not call `ShowWindow` so the window is not shown. I'm not sure why `winit` doesn't use a smilliar approach like this PR to create hidden windows. My guess is that `winit` is creating this hidden window to function as a "DispatchWindow" — serving a purpose similar to `WindowsPlatform` in `zed`. To ensure the window stays hidden even if `ShowWindow` is called, they use the `exstyle` approach. With the method used in this PR, my initial tests haven't revealed any issues.

- Is it showing a
no license specified
error for a crate you've created? If so, addpublish = false
under[package]
in your crate's Cargo.toml. - Is the error
failed to satisfy license requirements
for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to theaccepted
array inscript/licenses/zed-licenses.toml
. - Is
cargo-about
unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end ofscript/licenses/zed-licenses.toml
, as specified in the cargo-about book.
