What if ZillaRank changed this behavior and always searched the whole board, BUT (here is the clever part), gave a higher score bonus to results from the section you are in at the time of search.

-mouser (July 04, 2007, 09:41 PM)

that would be cool! i fully agree..

ok App, try this script and let me know if it works. btw, i didn't compile the script into an EXE since you already know the drill..

OSD Mute
• monitor and display the system's Mute status.
• needs Autohotkey, if downloading the source (.ahk & .zip) files.



New version: Vista-compatible
OSD-mute-Vista.zip (27.04 kB - downloaded 1012 times.)
OSD-mute-Vista.exe (258.75 kB - downloaded 1195 times.)

New version: v3
OSD-mute-v3.zip (16.05 kB - downloaded 1786 times.)
OSD-mute.exe (416.03 kB - downloaded 2315 times.)

'Lite' version
OSD-mute.ahk (2.34 kB - downloaded 1289 times.)
OSD-mute.exe (197.35 kB - downloaded 1360 times.)

Edit: added the compiled EXE.
Edit2: as per Nod5's suggestion, added code to remove flickering.
Edit3: added some minor updates.
Edit4: added option to change the positioning and the font properties of the OSD.
Edit5: two new options: notraymenu & noquitmenu in the INI file.
Edit6: Vista-compatibility plus new hotkey to toggle mute status (Win+m).

General Software Discussion / Help with VisitURL

« Last post by lanux128 on July 03, 2007, 10:55 PM »

i am trying out this program called VisitURL (which is btw, from the author of KeyNote). since i prefer VisitURL not to minimize after launching URLs, i unchecked this setting: Options > Misc > Browser settings > Minimize visit.



however, i noticed that a error message pops-up if i disable that setting. since the program is discontinued, i was hoping that someone here may be able to provide a work-around for this.

General Software Discussion / Any FastStone fans out there?

« Last post by lanux128 on July 03, 2007, 10:37 PM »

In one of the threads, several members spoke highly of FastStone Image Viewer. therefore i was inclined to try it out and so far it seems to be worth the while but for a minor error message. the message appears whenever i key-in the path manually on the address bar and start viewing..

so, any ideas on how to avoid this? i've emailed the developers some time ago but there's no response so far.. here's the screenshot..

Find And Run Robot / Yet another Farr-like program - Pretty Run

« Last post by lanux128 on July 03, 2007, 12:15 AM »

found this on shell extension city..

Pretty Run helps you with that as it searches start menu (it can search desktop and any other folder too) for the shortcuts or files that meet your query. You can search as you type or when you press enter. You can search for executable files, help files or any file. Always on top, minimize on run. Last used icons are displayed. Found items are grouped. You can get additional info about any item.
Supports searching web as well. You can setup you search engines by yourself.
In version 4 it supports magic words. You decide which words are shortcuts to your applications or web addresses. It can be used as Windows Run utility. Knows how to minimize all windows and show desktop. User interface is developed further on so you can really quickly start programs, web addresses and web searches.
Knows how to import Slick Run magic words.

i thought mouser's programs already support xp visual style.. using XP's default settings, i tried this by changing from blue to olive green and finally silver.. cdblu, if your CHS doesn't look like this then maybe you can post a screenshot?
