Notice: You will also need Google Tests Adapter in order to build tests. You can download it using NuGet or Visual Studio Installer.

Using

Notice: If you get errors about missing dll files - please install the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable from https://support.microsoft.com/en-hk/help/2977003/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads

AnyBarWin consists of 2 parts: AnyBarWin - server and AnyBarWinClient - client
To start using simply type in your favorite terminal AnyBarWinClient <icon_name> where <icon_name> is one of the available images: transparent, white, red, green, blue, question, exclamation, orange, yellow, purple, black, cyan
To see list of available commands run client without arguments

Notice: For now, the only available icon format is .ico

The app is using named pipes from WinApi. You can find auto-generated documentation by doxygen in doc\html\index.html
