Known issues:
Due to how Fullscreen mode is implemented, these additional windows can't stay on top if they lose focus

Word of advice:
The installer executable will likely trigger the antivirus, as AutoHotKey compiled scripts do, but there's no cause for concern, the code can be inspected with a zip manager.
