Auto Hide Windows

Auto Hide Windows (functions) allows withdrawing a window to a location where it does not use precious desktop space. Simply add any windows you like to the enter_handler function. The autohide function is called with two or three parameters. The first one is the window’s name or class, which must be unique. The second is the delay in milliseconds before the window is hidden after the pointer leaves it, and the last - optional - one indicates the direction in which it is hidden (N, S, E, W, NW, NE, SW or SE).
