Hello,
I just found the MouseMark utility and tried running it on Windows 10, but it doesn't work. Any chance of an update?

Finished Programs / SOLVED: webcam activity detection
« on: December 27, 2010, 11:59 AM »
I had an idea that would sort of add on to the functionality of the Noise program. The idea is to tie in to a webcam via usb (or ip?) and have it keep the screen active so that the screensaver doesn't start up when there is movement or if the screensaver is running, it would stop when a user enters the area.
It would be useful to have a grid that is selectable so that you can easily ignore parts of the webcam area that are expected to be in motion or don't matter. (ie If there's a window in the viewing area) Also, adjustable sensitivity.....

Finished Programs / DONE: Transparent Screensaver
« on: December 07, 2010, 12:14 PM »
I mentioned this idea a while ago in another part of the forum, but am wondering if I put it in the wrong section.

The idea is to have a screensaver that refreshes the pixels on the screen but keeps updating the current data on the screen.
The DimScreen screensaver does this when the screen is dimmed. It continues to update information on the screen until the selected screensaver kicks in (which I can tell it to do after three hours). But that's only half of what I want.....

Could a new program be made (or a version update to DimScreen) that dims the screen (or not), continuously updates information displayed on the screen, and moves some pixels around to keep them from getting stuck? I think an inverse vertical line of 1-10 pixels could move from left to right would do the trick, or maybe bouncing bubbles like the screensaver in vista and win7.

I know some people say that LCD monitors don't suffer from burn in, but I see it happen all the time. I work at a water/wastewater treatment plant and the screens have to be on 24x7 and they display the same header and footer on the screen for months at a time, which get stuck in place even on the best of monitors.

If someone could help me out with this, that would be great. Thanks. :)

DC Member Programs and Projects / Live Screensaver
« on: February 02, 2010, 05:15 PM »
Where I work, we usually have the screens on the same information for very long periods of time. I used to think that screen burn-in was impossible on an LCD, but we have several monitors that have semi-permanent burn-in because of our needs. (to clear the burn-in, you have to unplug the monitor for a few days). Normally, you would just set a screensaver to turn on after a half-hour or something, but our needs demand that the information on the screens be visible at all times. I've seen some screensavers that take a snapshot of the screen and move that around or run swirling graphical somethings all around. That is a step in the right direction, but I need the information to continue to update itself at least every 5-10 seconds.
I'm wondering if anyone wants to try to tackle this for me. At this point, I'm not exactly sure what such a screensaver would look like, but maybe someone else will have an idea. I'll be thinking about it a little more over the next few days and edit this post or reply if I think of something.

Thanks.

JGPaiva's GridMove and Ahk Tools / separate user profiles
« on: September 04, 2009, 03:52 PM »
I love the concept of GridMove, seems to work good and I have a suggestion that would pretty much guarantee I would use it permanently.
There needs to be a way to tie it to different profiles. I use terminal services at work and some users have one screen, some have two or three screens. Each of the users should be able to change the settings in gridmove to their own preference. But the way it is now, if one user changes settings, everyone else gets hosed.
I think the ini file should just be moved from the program files directory into each user's application settings directory and it would take care of it.
