Added in 2.0.0:
Added check box in Ignored window that instructs S+ to disable itself completely (unhook mouse/keyboard) if the application becomes the active window at any point in time. Once disabled via this method, you must manually reenable S+ via single left-clicking the tray icon, right-clicking the tray icon and unchecking Disable StrokesPlus, or via the hotkey SHIFT+CTRL+WIN+Z.
The main purpose of this feature is because I play EverQuest II and I want S+ completely out of the way when I'm playing, simply ignoring the window means S+ still checks all ignored windows every time I press the right mouse, which I do all the time in-game and I don't want the extra processing to occur..but sometimes I forget to disable S+ before I go in the game; this feature resolves that!
Note that there's no reasonably deterministic method to reenable S+ after being disabled via this method. Meaning, S+ could disable itself by detecting the game gained focus, but what if I already disabled S+ before opening the game, how would S+ know to when to reenable?
Basically, this is just a difficult task of state management that isn't worth the time for this rarely used feature. |

Note that this functionality doesn't cause S+ to continually scan windows, I found out about the WinEventHook callback, so S+ receives a notification when an application becomes the foreground window, then S+ checks the ignored apps just like it does when you press the stroke button; so it's very minimal overhead.
