Multi-workstation deployment — each session displays the correct classification level and live user identity resolved from Active Directory

Security log review — classification persists over any application

Standard productivity workflows — classification always visible

Developer environments — no exceptions, no blind spots

Group Policy configuration — full control over text, colors, and tokens

Domain admin tools — identity tokens pulled live from AD

Server environments — same persistent banner, zero configuration overhead

Capabilities

Built for modern Windows from the ground up

Native C++ on Win32 — no .NET runtime, no managed dependencies. Built on the same deep Windows internals knowledge that drives enterprise support.

🖥️

Anchored to the taskbar via SHAppBarMessage — survives window redraws, resolution changes, and multi-monitor configurations.

🔖

Display name, SAM account, job title, computer name, and Distinguished Name — resolved live from Active Directory at runtime.

🖥️🖥️

Banner spans every connected display — HUD detects monitor configuration at startup and anchors a persistent banner to each screen automatically.

⚙️

Policy enforced via SOFTWARE\Policies\AcaciaAve\HUD — configure and lock down via Group Policy across the entire enterprise.

🛡️

Process hardening prevents unauthorized termination. Classification state stays visible — the way it's supposed to.

⚡

Pure Win32 C++ — no runtime overhead, no garbage collector, no framework dependencies. Installs in seconds and stays out of the way.
