## Summary of the Pull Request Replaces the `SetVisibilityInSwitchers` method with `WS_EX_TOOLWINDOW` style, removing reliance on the fragile `IsShownInSwitchers` property. Explicitly overrides window corner preference so tool windows keep the same rounded corners as regular app windows (tool windows otherwise default to a smaller corner radius, which would change the look). Benefits: - Avoids use of the unreliable `IsShownInSwitchers` property, which has multiple known failure cases. - Allows window managers to correctly treat Command Palette as a popup window rather than a normal app window, preventing unwanted tiling, grid placement, or similar behaviors. This better matches the intended design of CmdPal as an overlay UI. <!-- Please review the items on the PR checklist before submitting--> ## PR Checklist - [x] Closes: #41772 - [x] Closes: #41593 - [ ] **Communication:** I've discussed this with core contributors already.

PowerToys Source Code
Code organization
The PowerToys are split into DLLs for each PowerToy module (modules folder), and an executable (runner folder) that loads and manages those DLLs.
The settings window is a separate executable, contained in settings-ui folder. It utilizes a WebView to display an HTML-based settings window.
The common contains code for a static library with helper functions, used by both the runner and the PowerToys modules.
