Finished Programs / Re: rendering of shadows in animated gif images has a problem
« Last post by skwire on November 06, 2012, 02:12 PM »
Apologies, I didn't see this thread here until today.  However, I did answer your email to me with the reason why you're seeing the white shadows.  For posterity, here's my email reply:

Some background on how Frameless works might be in order here.  For all supported image formats except for GIF files, Frameless uses the standard Win32 picture control.  That said, the control DOES support GIFs but not animated GIFs.  So, for GIFs, I use a third-party control that supports animated GIFs.  However, based on your sample, that third-party control doesn't appear to support the type of transparency in your file.  Unfortunately, there isn't much I can do about it; I'm somewhat at the mercy of the control.

Finished Programs / Re: DONE: Foreground wallpaper

Website | Download
v1.0.4 - 2012-11-04
    + Added "-nosetwall" parameter which creates the overlay effect with
      the passed image file but DOES NOT set it as the wallpaper.
     
      Usage: c:\path\to\Lucidity.exe <path to image file> -nosetwall
     
      Create a shortcut to Lucidity.exe with a target like this:
     
      c:\path\to\Lucidity.exe %1 -nosetwall
     
      Use that shortcut as the drop target for your image file.

Coding Snacks / Re: Single click focus, double click bring to front
« Last post by skwire on November 03, 2012, 10:12 PM »
Is there a technical reason as to why this is difficult?

Yes, actually, there is.  What you want, at its most basic, is easy to code.  What I mean is that it's fairly trivial to make single and double-clicking do what you request.  The hard part is not affecting all the other things that single and double-clicking already do in Window, e.g., selecting files, opening apps, single/double clicking titlebars, etc.  Does that make sense?

So I'm looking for a simple, preferably chromeless and borderless, image viewer that can display an animated gif without wanting to hug the left edge of the screen.

Perhaps my Frameless application will suit your needs?  It's a borderless, captionless image viewer with commandline support for image placement.  And, yes, it can display animated GIF files.  Check out the readme file here.

Hi, timmy2.  If you can, please share your batch file here on the thread and I'm sure one of us can come up with something for you.

Nicely done, Chris.  Thanks for sharing.  =]

So.  Much.  Wasteful.  Whitespace.

Of course, I realise that everything seems to be moving to a touch-friendly layout but it's soooo wasteful for desktop environments.  In addition to all the extra scrolling, I find it more difficult for my eyes to quickly scan through a list of topics that I'm interested in.  Does anybody else feel this way?

N.A.N.Y. 2012 / Re: NANY 2012 Release: MPH (Media Player Hotkeys)
« Last post by skwire on October 29, 2012, 01:17 PM »
I use this one:
http://mplayer-ww.com/eng/

I did try to get that one to work in the past but was unable to.  This is a common problem with "front-end" type of players such as this one.  SMPlayer and MPUI are two other mplayer front-ends that I haven't been able to get to work.  The problem is exacerbated when those front-ends use custom skins instead of regular controls.

Now, that being said, if you have some AutoHotkey code that you happen to use that DOES control mplayer-WW, I'd be happy to test it out and add the support to MPH.

Hello, Rockets, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.  AFAIK, mplayer, by itself, doesn't include a GUI.  Did you have in mind a particular GUI for mplayer?

« Last post by skwire on October 26, 2012, 09:34 AM »
Very strange you get a warning.  I tried twice and didn't get one.
As said, ClipTrap simply silently overwrote the original, and replaced.  Poof.

I tested on both XP and W7 and it works for me.  Here's a quick screencast I made: http://skwire.dcmemb...p/sc/ClipTrap_01.swf

How about the "Append to file" possibility?

Website | Download
v1.1.5 - 2012-10-26
    + Added "Append text to..." functionality via the toolbar, File menu,
      or Ctrl+D hotkey.  (Thanks, nkormanik)

Unfortunately, no.

No worries, this should be a simple operation.

Another issue I am running into is a less then helpful IT department.  I think I may need to create the file then try to somehow get them to run it on the back end.

Hmmm...do you not have direct access to these folders?  That is, are you not able to manipulate them yourself from your computer?

BTW, I'm trying to raise you via PM on IRC...might be easier than going back and forth on the forum.
