Dear ethanhs ,

First , thanks to provide this project .

I have use Console to open the example you provide name "example_gui.py" , then if I close the UI , the project still work . It's mean the threading is not close ?

Thanks

Hi @dkzone000, I'm glad you like it! Please be aware that I am not going to support this for much longer (see #25). To answer your question, yes, the thread works separately from the GUI (otherwise it can cause other problems). If you want to exit with the window, you probably want to add the kwarg daemon=True to your creation of Thread, so that it will end with your GUI. so it would be threading.Thread(target=hk.hook, daemon=True) I hope this answers your question.

No problem. daemon should definitely do what you need.
