 This tool automatically mutes applications in the background, and unmutes them once they are switched to foreground.
 You can add exceptions for which applications are never muted.

+# Features
+* Works out of the box with default settings
+* Add exceptions for applications to never be muted
+* Minimize to tray icon
+* Dark Mode (Experimental) 
+
+# Requirements
+* Requires DotNet 6.0 to work (install here https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/6.0)
+
+# Getting Started
+ - Run **WinBGMuter.exe**. The application will automatically start muting background processes with default settings.
+ - To **add or remove application exceptions** either:
+	 - Directly add/remove items in the text box under **"Mute Exceptions"**
+	 - Or under **"Mute Exception Changer"**: The left list shows detected processes with an audio channel; the right list shows processes part of the exception list. Simply use the arrow buttons < and > to move processes from one list to the other.
+ - **Activate Logger**: Enables or disables logging
+ - **Enable Console**: spawns a windows console for logging and debugging
+ - **Restore Defaults**: overrides existing settings and restores default settings
+ - **Enable Dark Mode**: enables a (very) experimental dark mode
+ - **Minimize to Tray** : minimize the application and it will automatically minimize to tray. Double clicking restores the window, and mouse right click shows a context menu.
