I Made a Floating Button to Control Windows from an Apollo Tablet Stream

[ObviouslyDanCodes]

I recently set up Apollo and Artemis so I could stream my gaming PC to a tablet. The stream itself worked great, but Windows kept opening games, launchers, and other windows on my physical monitors instead of the virtual display, even though I had it set as primary and created custom launch scripts in Playnite.

Nothing worked perfectly.

So I made Command Dot, a small floating button that appears on every display and gives me the Windows controls I need from whichever screen I am using.

Now anything that opens on another screen is no longer stranded.

(You do have to dive into the settings a bit to make it appear on every display.)

(I really tried to frame all of that in a Steve Jobs style XD.)

It includes:

• Tractor Beam to grab an open window and move it to the display where the Dot was opened

• Game Here to make the current display the gaming and primary display (Apollo does this too, but it is always good to have a backup option)

• Stop Gaming Here to restore the previous desktop arrangement

• Auto Tractor Beam (Experimental) to automatically move newly opened windows while Game Here is active

• Resolution, refresh rate, HDR, VRR, and display profile controls

• Audio output switching with an optional global cycle hotkey

• Start, Taskbar, and Task Manager

• Close Window and a guarded Force Quit option

• Separate Dot position, size, and opacity settings for every display

• Sleep, Restart, and Shut Down with confirmations and a cancelable countdown

Command Dot is a standalone Windows x64 utility I made for my own Apollo and Artemis tablet setup. It should also be helpful for TVs, projectors, virtual displays, and regular multi-monitor setups.

This is the first public release, so I would really appreciate feedback from anyone using Apollo virtual displays or a headless setup. If something acts weird, let me know your Windows version, GPU, display setup, and which application was involved.
