Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Full text on desktop icons
« on: March 31, 2007, 05:56 PM »
When filenames for desktop icons get too long windows automatically limits them to two lines. Usually that's ok, but when I have icons on the desktop that are not shortcuts (i.e. pdf files) they limit the lines of text for the name to 1. I.e. Verylongword.pdf becomes Verylo.....

When you click on an icon, the full name shows up, but I would like the text to be there even when the icon isn't clicked. I looked through TuneUp and other programs but they don't seem to have an option to do this... anyone know any programs or know a way to let me control the lines that each icon can display on the desktop?

Thanks =)

does anyone have any idea of even how to tackle this? there has been a lot of talk about directx10 and stuff, would it be possible to make a program like this for windows vista since it unifies a lot of different kinds of graphics coding?

I think the title explains most of it.. I have a two 19" monitor setup, and sometimes I am playing a game or something one the left side in full screen. Sometimes I want to do something else on the right screen, such as write a paper or browse the web. However, since the game is in full screen, whenever I move my mouse over to the right side and click on a window, the game minimizes on the left screen.

I tried using autohotkey and a couple of other programs, but I don't think that code which keeps windows on top apply to directx/full screen applications (i.e. applications that don't have a minimize/resize/close button on the top right).

I haven't been able to find anything that would let me do what I do. If someone can find a program that does that, then please post it =) otherwise, anyone interesting in tackling this problem?

Thanks!

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: limiting audio to one source

i was wondering if someone could make a quick app where pressing a hotkey would allow me to mute all programs except for a program i specify, i.e. winamp.

i have aim, a tv tuner, and i also play games, and sometimes i just want to listen to music and nothing else, but it's a big hassle to always turn on and off the volumes for each program. any help would be appreciated =)

thanks mate =)  it turns out that the w key affects my typings as well as gaming so, it seems like i'm gonna have to get it fixed after all =| however, using the script really helps the typing part so thanks =) i'll use it for now
