AutoClicker.AACore v2.0.3 — Power Automation for Windows

Features

Everything you need for seamless automation.

🖱️

Mouse Click Automation

Left and right mouse clicks at your cursor position with intervals down to 1 ms. Precision timing for gaming or productivity.

⌨️

Keyboard Automation

Press any key or combo like E+R, Space, or custom sequences. Staggered "press separately" mode for realistic typing feel.

🎲

Random Jitter

Add configurable random millisecond offset per cycle so your automation looks human-like, not robotic.

📊

Live Statistics

Real-time counters during a run — total clicks, left/right mouse, and key presses — all updated live from the background engine.

🔑

Global Hotkey (F6)

One-key toggle start/stop from anywhere on your desktop. Works even when the app is minimized or in the background.

🎨

Classic Themes

Dark, Light, AMOLED, Midnight Blue, Forest, and Neon. Themes change colors only and always preserve the original Classic layout.

✨

Full Custom Skins

Skins can rebuild the complete UX with new layouts, hierarchy, typography, cards, rounded controls, colors, and borderless window chrome.

🌐

i18n Ready

Built-in language manager infrastructure with dictionary keys for every visible string. English-only today, ready to expand.

🔗

Thread-Safe Engine

Async Task-based clicker loop with volatile flags, lock-protected key inputs, and proper CancellationToken disposal. No leaks, no crashes.

Two independent appearance systems

Classic stays classic. Skins go further.

Themes never touch a skin, and skins never leak into Classic View. Return to Classic restores the original controls, colors, native frame, hierarchy, and dimensions.

Classic ViewOriginal UI + six color themes

Bug Fixes

Issues identified, diagnosed, and resolved through rigorous multi-agent code review.

🛡️ Thread Safety & Stability

✓ Fixed volatile _clickTask — eliminated stale reference in StopClicker()
✓ Proper CancellationTokenSource disposal — eliminated resource leak across restarts
✓ Race condition guard on _keyInputs with lock statement
✓ CTS disposal race protection — safe cleanup even under rapid start/stop cycles
✓ AAButton Region memory leak fix — proper disposal on control destruction

🎨 UI & Designer

✓ MenuStrip visibility fixed in VS designer — moved from runtime to Designer.cs
✓ Dropdown theming: dark backgrounds, hover states, accent selection highlights
✓ Custom ToolStripRenderer with proper dropdown path detection (not is ToolStripDropDownMenu)
✓ Reflection trick for ShowImageMargin/ShowCheckMargin at runtime
✓ Separator workaround — custom ToolStripMenuItem replaces native separator
✓ Accent styling preserved on checked theme items after skin changes
✓ Complete appearance isolation — every skin switch restores a pristine visual baseline before applying the next mode
✓ Reversible borderless skin chrome with draggable branded header, minimize, and close controls

🔒 Security & Robustness

✓ Global hotkey conflict prevention across multiple instances
✓ Screen bounds validation for negative secondary-monitor coordinates
✓ Design-time guards (LicenseManager.IsDesignMode) prevent VS designer crashes
✓ SkinApplicator null-safety for all direct control access paths

⚠️ Known Issues / In Progress

Issue	Priority
`keybd_event` deprecation — migrate to `SendInput` API	Medium
UI thread updates from background tasks — missing Invoke() on stats labels & progress bar	High
Settings file locking — concurrent writes can corrupt JSON; no crash recovery	Medium
Hotkey unregistration on form close — currently relies on IDisposable pattern	Low

Roadmap

Where we're heading next.

v1.1

SendInput Migration

Replace deprecated keybd_event with modern Win32 SendInput API for keyboard injection — better compatibility and reliability.

v1.1

Robust Hotkey Cleanup

Proper hotkey unregistration on all exit paths — graceful shutdown, crash recovery, and multi-instance conflict resolution.

v1.1

Atomic Settings Persistence

File locking + atomic writes for settings.json with backup before overwrite to prevent corruption.

v1.2

UI Thread Safety Audit

Wrap all background task → UI updates with proper Invoke() calls — eliminate thread-crossing bugs.

Future

Cross-Platform Web Version

A web-based counterpart to the desktop app — accessible from any browser on any OS.

Future

Macro Recording & Playback

Record mouse/keyboard sequences and replay them with customizable timing and conditions.

Future

Click Pattern Presets

Preset patterns for common use cases: spam click, double-tap, drag-and-drop, and more.
