Circle Dock / AutoHotkey Script for LEFT + RIGHT Mouse Click to Toggle Circle Dock

« on: September 09, 2008, 11:52 PM »

Split from the Circle Dock 0.9.2 Alpha 7 Discussion Thread because quite a few people want this:

I've also attached my auto-hotkey script to launch circledock by holding down the left mouse button followed by pressing the right one.  Note: your circledock keyboard toggle must be set to CTRL-ALT-Z for this to work.

Circle Dock / Recent Programs

« on: September 04, 2008, 07:28 AM »

What might be cool to add is the ability for one ring to be the Recent Programs from the XP/Vista start menu.  That way the most frequently used programs would show up all the time in CircleDock. 

Just an idea!

Great work on this!

Coding Snacks / [idea/request] Run program when laptop goes on/off battery

« on: September 01, 2008, 04:22 AM »

Does anyone know of a program (or a way in windows task scheduler) to run a program when a laptop goes on battery?   And then another program when it comes off battery?  For Vista, btw.

I really would like to be able to run my script that turns off Aero when my computer goes on battery- it's a significant power savings.

I know of a program called Vista Battery Saver which does something similar, but isn't acceptable.  It turns off Aero, which is more severe than turning off transparency.  Turning off Aero is overkill and doesn't seem to make much difference on battery life, so I really just want a way to turn off transparency.  It seems the most flexible way to do this would be to have a method for running programs when the computer detects that it has changed to battery and then when it goes back on AC. 

Thanks for any ideas/etc...
