          BossKey - v0.2.8.2

------------------------------------------------

Desc:
====
This plug-in hides all of Miranda's windows and system tray icon/s when you press a specified hotkey (F12 is the default), mostly useful to hide Miranda from your boss :)
BossKey was very much inspired by AntiA, and adds a couple of features to the original AntiA (Like: Icon/s can be restored, you can set a status message to when you leave etc.)

* Translators: Check out bosskey_translation.txt for the complete list of strings you will need to translate BossKey


Installation:
============
To install the plug-in you will need to copy BossKey.dll to your Miranda's plug-in directory (<MIRANDA DIR>\plugins).


Uninstallation:
==============
If you want to keep your current settings, skip Step 1:
1) Goto Miranda's Options dialog, from there go to "Plugins", then "BossKey" and click on "Delete Settings".
2) Close the options dialog and shutdown Miranda. Then delete the BossKey.dll from <MIRANDA DIR>\plugins.


How to use:
==========
Press the hotkey (F12, by default) from anywhere in the system, and see how Miranda "disappears".
You should know that it's still there, it's just hidden (A quick look using a task manager will reveal it), so keep that in mind :)
You should also check out the options (Plugins->BossKey), they are somewhat useful :)
