hide-virtual-desktop-confirmator: initial release

[Zygaross]

Summary

Hides the Windows 11 virtual desktop number popup when switching virtual desktops
(trackpad, Win+Ctrl). Keeps the slide animation. Volume and brightness flyouts
still work.

How

• TextConfirmator add -> collapse ConfirmatorMainGrid
• TextConfirmator remove -> restore via cached MainGrid ref
• VolumeConfirmator / BrightnessConfirmator add -> restore if needed

No timers, registry polling, or HWND hide/restore.

Tested

Windows 11 24H2/25H2 class builds with HWConfirmatorUI.

Thank you for the submission.

The main issue is that the mod uses XAML Diagnostics (InitializeXamlDiagnosticsEx), which makes the mod incompatible with other mods or customization tools that use it. Specifically, it makes the mod incompatible with Windows 11 Taskbar Styler.

Please update the implementation such that XAML Diagnostics API isn't used. There are several mod examples which can serve as an example, for example Start button always on the left:

windhawk-mods/mods/taskbar-start-button-position.wh.cpp

Lines 390 to 407 in 862ba36

	XamlRoot xamlRoot = nullptr;
	if (_wcsicmp(szClassName, L"Shell_TrayWnd") == 0) {
	xamlRoot = GetTaskbarXamlRoot(hWnd);
	} else if (_wcsicmp(szClassName, L"Shell_SecondaryTrayWnd") == 0) {
	xamlRoot = GetSecondaryTaskbarXamlRoot(hWnd);
	} else {
	return TRUE;
	}
	if (!xamlRoot) {
	Wh_Log(L"Getting XamlRoot failed");
	return TRUE;
	}
	if (!ApplyStyle(xamlRoot)) {
	Wh_Log(L"ApplyStyles failed");
	return TRUE;
	}

Also, you might be able to achieve the same with just Windows 11 Taskbar Styler styles. Have you tried that?
