Coding Snacks / change f.lux brightness mouse remote (like Volume²)
« on: July 02, 2019, 08:28 AM »
Hello,

I'm using f.lux, which allows you to change the screen brightness with Alt+PgDown/PgUp. I'd like a 'remote' so that I can do those changes by moving the mouse cursor to the left side of the screen and use the mouse scroll wheel (down/up).

I'm using Volume² (http://irzyxa.blogspot.com/p/downloads.html) to change the system volume in that way on the right side of the screen and really like that feature, the same for screen brightness would be great!

General Software Discussion / Looking for an image viewer that...
« on: December 13, 2017, 06:21 AM »
Hi,

I'm looking for an image viewer that, when an image is clicked, ...
a) will start in full-screen mode (or at least gives the image most of the screen)
b) will auto-resize the image to fit the screen
c) has no performance problem with a huge image folder
[d) an option to rename the currently displayed image would be a plus]

Normally, I'm quite happy with Faststone image viewer, but that only takes care of a) and b) [and d)] - it's a bit slow when it comes to images in a huge folder.

General Software Discussion / Windows 10 suddenly black and white :-(
« on: October 27, 2017, 12:03 PM »
Hi,

suddenly my Windows desktop - along with all programs - turned black and white. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del still brings up the *blue* screen (lock, change password, start task manager, ...), and after rebooting, Windows' log-in screen is as colorful than ever, so I'm really puzzled... I can't say for sure that I didn't accidentally hit some mysterious keyboard shortcut, but I wouldn't know which one.

I *really* hope someone has an idea regarding how to fix this. The only solution I could find with Google was to update the gfx card driver (Intel HD Graphics 520). It didn't make sense to me but I tried it anyway. Since I already had the latest version I downloaded and installed an older one, but that didn't help.

General Software Discussion / Twist app - "My Company Tried Slack For Two Years. This Is Why We Quit."
« on: July 14, 2017, 11:57 AM »
I just read https://www.fastcompany.com/40433793/my-company-tried-slack-for-two-years-this-is-whywe-quit and wanted to share the article.

Because conversations in Slack happen on a one-way conveyor belt, our team began feeling like they had to stay constantly connected to keep up. This style of communication was especially problematic for a remote-first company like ours. How do you stay in the loop when earlier topics have already been discussed and are buried by the time you even wake up?

On https://twist.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003654569 they add:

It's not just Slack. Any synchronous, real-time chat app will drain your time—that's the nature of chat.


I like the thinking behind their https://twistapp.com/ (it's from the Todoist team): to have "calmer, more organized, and more productive communication". I'll try it some day. They have a promo video that shows how it works.

General Software Discussion / win32pad (editor) windows are suddenly all set to "always on top"! How to fix?
« on: May 30, 2017, 06:41 AM »
I like to use win32pad (http://www.gena01.com/win32pad/). It's fast, lightweight, has all the basic features I need (and hasn't been updated in 10 years... Sad!)

Since a few days ago, *all* win32pad windows are suddenly set to "always on top" when I open them! Even after rebooting Windows. I have no idea how that happened. How can I fix that? Currently, I'm using AutoHotkey (WinSet) to manually (temporarily) fix it, but that is quite annoying.
