Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Draw on your desktop

This actually isn't super-easy to do, for a number of reasons... one would need to resort to kludgy hacks, or injecting code into explorer.exe (which is also quite a hack, and won't work if the user has another shell than explorer, and will impose 32/64bit trouble as well).
hmm... didn't know that. Not good with this coding stuff...

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Draw on your desktop
« on: March 25, 2008, 10:15 AM »
This is so simple I can't believe I can't find apps that are good enough for this one!

I want an app that lives in your taskbar and runs all the time (starts at startup, runs all the time unless you exit it) and when you rightclick it you get simple options like "red, blue, black, green". No more colors, only those. It will let you "draw" on your desktop wallpaper, and the scribbles will be autosaved (so if you reboot your computer, the notes will still be there).

I have seen apps like this before, but they have disadvantages...

-The good ones are not freeware.
-They have big chunky toolbars instead of a simple taskbar icon.
-They have too many unnecessary colors. (Who needs to scribble captions and reminders in pink? And what's the difference between scribbling them in dark blue and light blue?)
-The app is like a transparent window, so when you are using it you can not use the desktop icons. The app I want should be "integrated" with the Windows desktop wallpaper, so that you can scribble AND click the icons without having to close the drawing app.

Thanks!

You still want to be unhappy, eh?  8)

The most simple solution would be to use a .txt file for the gratitude 'log' - then you could either open it manually or write a simple AHK script to open it daily to prevent you from forgetting about it.
yes, ur right. I'll try that, seems like a good idea  ;D :) ;)

The black circles on the mood lines show the days you have written describing text for the moods. For the yellow "love line", there is a tooltip (appears on mouseover) showing what happened that day to make the love line go so low (the breakup).
That's a great idea! ...if your goal is to stay as unhappy as you are. :huh:

You get what you focus on, so forget about the 'bad things' that 'happened' and write a daily list of 5 or more things you are grateful for. If you can't find big things ("*great* evening with some friends") start with something small ("breathing is painfree").

I'm not kidding.

oki, ur right. This forum is starting to split into 2 apps, the mood diary and the gratefulness thingy. But they could be merged into one, I think.. or someone could make these 2 apps and you could use them side-by-side if you wanted to... I dunno..

I think there are a few programs (and websites) that do this and i look forward to seeing what DC people know about.
I have to confess i've thought quite a bit in the past about writing such a program.
a few programs and websites? Can you tell me about them? thnx
