- A click-through Option (suggested by bandit012345)
-hxr404 (November 13, 2020, 10:12 AM)

This could be done.

- Transparent Gif's should display transparent instead of white
-hxr404 (November 13, 2020, 10:12 AM)

AutoHotkey doesn't handle animated GIFs natively, so I'm not certain if this would be possible.

- An Option to do Animations with png Files e.g. a fps option, and a option to specify a folder full of png's (the frames)
-hxr404 (November 13, 2020, 10:12 AM)

This is out of scope for this application.  However, with the current options available within Frameless, you should be able to accomplish what you want with your own batch or AHK script.

PS: I hope that someone is still reading this in 2020  :D The Feature Request-Button on the Website didn't work

Which button and which website?

Here's my take on this snack: http://www.dcmembers...nacks/TB_Battery.zip

Still early and not feature complete, but the basic functionality is there.  It looks like this:

Screenshot 2020-11-11 150454.png

Notes:

  • Currently, it updates every fifteen seconds (will be made configurable at some point).
  • A plus in front of the battery glyph shows that you're charging (plugged in) while a minus shows that you're discharging (not plugged in).
  • Exiting from the tray icon should clean up the titlebars' text.
  • This suffers from the same issue as Chris' in that windows that constantly update their titlebar text will remove the battery info.  However, the fifteen second timer will bring it back.

General Software Discussion / Re: How to delete a folder that Windows can't find?
« on: October 06, 2020, 10:27 PM »
In these situations, and especially with the "filename too long" problems, another thing I always try is to use the 7-Zip GUI interface to see if I can get to the folder and delete it from within 7-Zip.  Sounds strange, but it works quite often.

« on: October 02, 2020, 10:00 AM »
Cool idea and mockup.  :)  Unfortunately, with standard Windows menus like Explorer uses, I do not think this is possible.  Microsoft Office does not use standard Windows menus, hence its ability to do what you see in that screenshot above.

Try using a different IP like Google's DNS servers.  8.8.8.8 or 4.4.4.4
Also, make sure the "Fire alert only once per consecutive host down events" option is checked as well.

Finished Programs / Re: SOLVED: Quick toggle some monitors
« on: June 17, 2020, 03:41 PM »
Got it working.   :up:
Problem solved.

The GUI was useful as the monitor #s were not what one would expect.
The SwitchOnOff commandline option worked imperfectly to toggle the monitors (one monitor was not toggling back on properly), so I used 2 hotkeys in AHK, one to turn the monitors off, and another to turn them back on.
-mouser (June 17, 2020, 03:29 PM)

Right on.  I'll move this thread.

-mouser (June 17, 2020, 01:01 PM)

Right on.  I'm sure you'll find out soon enough but, to work properly, the monitors would have to be DDC/CI capable.

Finished Programs / Re: SOLVED: Quick toggle some monitors
« on: June 17, 2020, 09:54 AM »
This is actually pretty tricky programmatically.  I'd recommend using Nir Sofer's MultiMonitorTool program.  It's a GUI program, but fully commandline controllable.  You could easily create a toggle shortcut like this:

[Select]
c:\path\to\MultiMonitorTool.exe /SwitchOffOn 2 3 4

Of course, run the tool first to get the proper monitor numbers.

Some notes:

  • You cannot create three letter folders or files with the following names: aux, con, nul, & prn
  • The DOS move command _does_ work for folders.

What's the use case for the second part?

Looking for a way to sort/organize mp3 files in a folder into a set of folders by bitrate:

320 kbps mp3s --> appropriate folder named "320"
192 kbps mp3s --> appropriate folder named "192"

What happens if the files are VBR (Variable Bit Rate)?  If you have VBR files, you will end up with a mess.

« on: May 08, 2020, 02:25 PM »
Even though I use Markdown, there are certain things that I prefer the AsciiDoc (or other markup formats) way of doing it.  You already mentioned one of them -- the use of underscores.  It's non-intuitive that Markdown formats _this_ as this.  WTH?  :huh:  I mean, they're underscores...they look like underlines, for goodness sake.   I would have preferred italics use forward slashes and be formatted so that /this/ turns into this.  However, some folks have trouble knowing which slash is a forward slash and which is a backward slash, so I can understand that there might have been some confusion because backslashes are used to escape characters.  Using backslashes, you can write: \_this\_ which would appear as: _this_.  As it stands now, to underline text in Markdown, you have to use <u></u> or <ins></ins> tags.  Ugly.
 
I agree that neither format is the be all, end all.   However, at some point, one needs to pick a format and just use it.  If one worries what they're missing from other formats, nothing gets done.   :P
