Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Use AHK GUI to make translucent overlay over apps that are not skinnable
« on: September 12, 2009, 03:07 PM »
Cool.
I fooled with the color and font size and suspect I can change the font color too with a little research.
(What about the font itself? Or are we stuck with this Arial type font?)
The only thing left is to take out code, believe it or not.
All our machines run at the same screen resolution (1280x768), and our encoding app always runs full screen, so I don't need the overlays to be dynamically positioned at all.
Strict X and Y and W and H values which I can change by hand would be perfect. (I'll be spacing multiple colored boxes and up to 12 buttons all over the interface where there is unused space)
Will I be able to place buttons within the same space as the color overlay?
Can't wait to try v2!
