IDEA: On-screen Caps Lock alert

(1/2) > >>

rodtanner:
A user-locatable, user sizeable, translucent, red(?) dot that is visible when Caps Lock is on.  I've never found the keyboard indicators adequate.  Thanks!

PhilB66:
GreenOSD (onscreen display).

rodtanner:
Thanks for the reply, but I haven't a clue how to deal with code.  I just use 'em.  I don't know what makes them run.

PhilB66:
It's an autohotkey script. Just ask in that thread for someone to compile it for you.

Also, see systray keyboard lights and caps\num lock indicator threads for alternatives.

it's actually quite easy this one (I only know the easy stuff ;)) instead of getting it compiled you can:

if you dont have AutoHotKey, get that and install it (or just get the zip file on same page & unzip - both portable far as I know)  http://www.autohotkey.com/download/

Save Skrommels code using Notepad or other text editor - the code hidden by the spoiler - may as well save it as the name he gives it GreenOSD.ahk (you've got to add the ahk suffix your self) preferably in your AutoHotKey scripts folder:-
~\AutoHotkey\Extras\Scripts
open/double click saved AHK file - that's it, it's running
