 :) Something missing? How about undimming (for lack of a better word)?

Upgrade to DimSaver v1.7! Remember to remove the existing ini-file.

 :tellme: You're absolutely right, Carol! The step had to be less than the darkness!

Corrected in DimSaver v1.6, so remember to delete the existing ini-file when upgrading!

 :) Try DimSaver v1.5!

Added option to change the step speed of the dimming. Also corrected the mousemove bug (missed a global variable).

Remember to delete the existing ini-file when upgrading!

 :) Finally working! Try DimSaver v1.4!

The main problem was that the .scr has a different working dir that the .exe, so it took forever to find what was actually wrong. Also, the screensaver receives mouse messages for no reason, and running another screensaver from a .scr, and closing it, also closes the other screensaver. Go figure!

 :) Great tool! So great, in fact, that I felt compelled to write a Windows version!

It's just a preview, I'll finish it tomorrow. And if someone knows how to extract the buttons from toolbars, the contents of Internet Explorer windows, and more, please let me know!

LabelControl - labels the controls of the active window with Numbers, for direct access via Ctrl+Number.

 :tellme: You have to delete the ini file located next to the installed DimSaver screensaver, probably in C:\Windows\System32.

 :) I think Ghoster should do what you want by putting the active window always on top. All the other trimming can be removed.

 :) Just uploaded a new preview of NoButtons.

But I'm not shure if it's the best solution after all... The mouseclick, which is used most frequently take twice the time it has to, and the window flashing can be tiresome, too. But it is easy to convert into something like DwellClicker, so tell me what you think.

 :tellme: I've been using DimSaver for a while, and it always disables itself, brotherS. Can you tell me when this happens?

However, it quite oftens goes bright again, mouser. I'll look into it.

 :) Hi again, midiworks!

Try NoButtons preview!

Move the mouse to where you want to click. Hold the mouse still for one second, and the window appears under your cursor. Now just hold the mouse over the action you want, the window goes away and the action is performed.

I've tried DwellClicker, and the main problem is the distance you have to move the mouse. So I've stolen this idea from Monkey Island and other adventure games.

It's just to get feedback, so it is very rough.

Edited 2006.04.13: Changed the default button to leftclick instead of rest. The buttons can be moved and changed, and there's an option to send any AutoHotkey keypress.

Edited 2006.04.13: Added option to run programs.

 :) Updated ConfineMouse to v1.1.

Made it change to the monitor chosen in the settings without a restart.

 :) Or if you don't need to absolutely lock the mouse to one monitor, try this, it just moves it back.

ConfineMouse - Confine the mouse to one monitor.

Features:
- DoubleClick the tray icon to Disable/Enable.

 :) What you could try is to move your monitors around in the Desktop properties' Settings window, placing them side by side, the one above the other. If they are barely touching, the intersection is the only place where your mouse can travel from the one monitor to the other.

 :tellme: Mouser, DimSave creates a window coverting all monitors, and changes the transparency. It's Autohotkey's transparency function that's so CPU intensive, and the bigger the window, the slower it is. I could make it skip every other transparency, but it would still use a lot of CPU. But afterwards it shold be fine. What delay have you entered in the settings dialog? Have you selected a screensaver to run next? There could be a bug in there...

brotherS, I think your problems with the WinActivate function is also related to the transparency, by always staying active. And to turn off the monitor afterwards, install my MonitorOffSaver. About the hotkeys, I'm not shure how to detect them.

 :-[ Please upgrade DimSaver to v1.3! And remember to remove the existing ini-file.

I've very sorry for last night's very buggy version. I had no multimonitor to test it on, the day and night settings weren't working (still don't know why), the values got swapped (so check the options window), the mousemove, -clicks and keys settings weren't saved, the list goes on. So take my advise and get to bed early - there's nothing like a good night's sleep!

 :) Try DimSaver v1.2. I've added multimonitor support and tweaked it some.

Please let me know if it works.
