I know that there are programs that display volume up or down on screen but I am looking for one that would display the volume going up or down in green color with bars. Just free floating on the screen not in a box or background that also maybe could be user adjustable for the width and height , it kinda would look like this .....

Vol +  l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l

It also displays the mute and words of the speacial keys that are pressed on the multimedia keyboard like internet explorer, calc, mail  ect .....

I believe HP computers have something like this. Is there a program or ahk file already out there that does this?


Thanks

EDIT by brotherS: Please start topics in here with "IDEA: ..." the next time, thanks.

Re: Volume buttons pressed on keyboard are display on screen
« Reply #1 on: July 19, 2006, 02:00 AM »
My Logitech keyboard has a program that does exactly this, I think it is called iTouch.exe, it shows when the special keys are pressed and does exactly what you described for the volume keys

I didn't actually know about this for the first year or two after I purchased the keyboard because I didn't bother installing the driver disk or reading the manuals and it was only when I wanted to make more use of the keyboard functionality with other programs that I had a look....

True, and works very well, but it's only suitable for logitech keyboards. (i have one, and when the keyboard is disconnected, my laptop's keys don't get the on screen display).

 :) Try my GreenOSD - Shows changing volume and selected keys on screen!

I haven't got a multimedia keyboard at hand, so please try the script and let me know what's wrong.
Download and install AutoHotkey from www.autohotkey.com to run it.

Yes as in the reply above me how can I position it lower on the screen and make it longer left to right I know that there is size=40 but that makes it bigger over all I just want to be able to have the size=40 but make it longer to fit from the left edge of the screen to the right. Also I have 3 buttons on my multimedia keyboard that don't work I tried looking on this site to see if there is some information but had no luck the keys are suspend, microsoft word button, and excel. Is there a way to map these somehow?

Your are the man! GreenOSD.ahk was just what I was looking for.

Audio Sliders (http://www.codesector.com/mixer.asp) can do exactly what you say, see screenshot: http://www.codesecto.../screenshots/osd.gif

You just need to check option "Popup when volume changes" in the OSD settings.

Hey Thanks DesertEagle that looks like a good program but i kinda like the GreenOSD.ahk that skrimmel made. So I ask again, how can I position greenOSD.ahk lower on the screen and make it longer left to right I know that there is size=40 but that makes it bigger over all I just want to be able to have the size=40 but make it longer to fit from the left edge of the screen to the right. Also I have 3 buttons on my multimedia keyboard that don't work I tried looking on this site to see if there is some information but had no luck the keys are suspend, microsoft word button, and excel.

These keys needs to be remapped with a special software, like JetStart Pro, again from http://www.codesector.com. Or search for the other remapping programs.

Hey I found another Volume OSD Script by a person called - Rajat but I can't find them in here it is a fairly good script but one problem I noticed is that when you press the volume up or down a ghost box appears in the middle of the screen can someone take a look at the code and see if there is a fix for this problem.

Thanks

Skrommel

Click below to show the entire script.

Sorry, but the reveal button didn't work from me. However I got the code by Quoting Skrommel's message.

Up to now I've been using Rajat's VolumeOSD and there are only occasional flutterings of Gui weirdness -and I've forgotten what they were. It might be down to either Autohotkey or Windows itself slowing down. I don't know what you mean about Ghost-boxes...

HTH

It's not called iTouch anymore, it's called SetPoint. I use this piece of software and it does its job.

R U for Real?

Close your eyes and imagine the following in different colors, size and font style:

Vol +  l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
Vol -  l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
CapsLock On / Off
Insert On / Off
Mute On / Off
etc.

I wanted to know what the quality of the displayed text was. Because the quality I see naw is not very nice. Can't you implement some alpha blending?

; You can write literal x and y coordinates such as x20 y50 which would place the text at that position in pixels
; or you can include the last 2 parameters (Width and Height of the Graphics we will use) and then you can use x10p
; which will place the text at 10% of the width and y30p which is 30% of the height
; The same percentage marker may be used for width and height also, so w80p makes the bounding box of the rectangle the text

; box will be made to be the height of the graphics, so 100%

; To justify the text any of the following may be used: Near,Left,Centre,Center,Far,Right with different spelling of words for convenience

; The rendering hint (the quality of the antialiasing of the text) can be specified with r, whose values may be:
; SystemDefault = 0
; SingleBitPerPixelGridFit = 1
; SingleBitPerPixel = 2
; AntiAliasGridFit = 3
; AntiAlias = 4

; The size can simply be specified with s

; The colour and opacity can be specified for the text also by specifying the ARGB as demonstrated with other functions such as the brush
; So cffff0000 would make a fully opaque red brush, so it is: cARGB (the literal letter c, follwed by the ARGB)

; The 4th parameter is the name of the font you wish to use

; As mentioned previously, you don not need to specify the last 2 parameters, the width and height, unless
; you are planning on using the p option with the x,y,w,h to use the percentage
Options = x1p y21p w100p Centre c%shadowtransparency%000000 r4 s%size%

@ Skrommel:
Very,very nice. But I've some feeling that the text is a little bit transparent as well. Maybe it's that I have a 2 monitor setup, but when the thing is supposed to disappear, the thing just jumps to my top left corner of the primary monitor. Maybe some fade in and fade out possiblity? I also think that texts such as Pause and Stop should be in vertical center of the screen...

I really think this thing can turn out to be a killer app.

And the possiblity to change the wave when holding control, you know?

even in a single monitor setup, it does jump to the top-left corner and just stays there..

it'd be nicer if the text that appears had some kind of drop-shadow so that they don't look so thin..

it'd be nicer if the text that appears had some kind of drop-shadow so that they don't look so thin..
That's what I already pointed out. If you have a white wallpaper, the text is absolutely unreadable, this is because (i guess) the transparency applies to the whole thing, not just the background rounded rectangle (which I really think is great)

then i'm just seconding the motion. either way, it's good if the transparency doesn't blend in too much leaving the text as some sort of skeletal frame..
