Finished Programs / Re: IDEA: Global Push-To-Talk Hotkey

  Hope nobody offended anyone using the old version...

Now try v1.1. It's not perfect, as I couldn't make it mute, but it toggles the input volume between 0% and 100%. But you can make a shortcut to it and add a number like 50 after the filename to have it toggle between 0% and 50%.

MicMute toggles the microphone's input volume between 0% and 100%.

Features:
- Place it on your QuickRun toolbar for easy access.
- To change the On volume, make a shortcut to it and add the wanted volume after the filename.

PixelNotifier watches pixels for color change, and if triggered, shows a message, plays a sound and fills the whole screen with color.

Features:
- Edit the ini-file to change the settings.
- Simple way to add new alarms.



You'll find the downloads and more info at Skrommel Software.

I just added options for 9 alarms, but that can easily be expanded. Also, I should maybe add the option to check for Window titles in the relative pixelcheck...

ShellCity is one of my favorites, Gerry! The tools there have saved my day many times!

  If you've got your own AHK script running, put something like this in there to toggle Ghoster on and off:

^+0::
Process, Exist, Ghoster.exe
pid=%ErrorLevel%
If pid=0
  Run,<fill in the path>Ghoster.exe
Else
  Process,Close,Ghoster.exe
Return

If by start and exit you mean reload, add the following line to the end of the script, to have it reload when pressing Ctrl-Shift-o:

  Sorry about the CPU usage, but it can be reduced by changing the Sleep,0 to Sleep,100 or some other value balancing snappy operation and CPU usage. Inserting other pauses into the script will help, too.

AutoHotkey has some overhead compared to compiling languages, but I think the ease of use is worth it!

I've changed the pause to 10 in the one on my home page at www.donationcoder.com/Software/Skrommel. It hovers below 10%.

  Here's a 1 hour solution!

ProcessGurd - Watch processes' memory usage, cpu usage and many more, and get a warning, close them, change their priority, hide/show them, or minimize/maximize them!

Features:
- Edit the ini-file to change the settings.
- Watch all processes by using *
- Doubleclick the tray icon to change settings.



You'll find the downloads and more info at Skrommel Software.

This really isn't a production style product like the one above, but it works for me!

It uses TaskManager since AutoHotkey lacks a process manager, locks it and reads the values from the second tab, so don't change the settings if you want it to work. If you do by accident, just close TaskManager, and it will restart with the proper settings.

Every second it compares the values to the ones defined in the ini file. If exceeded for the set time, the user defined message and action is triggered. Maybe I should add an option to run external programs?

Add as many alarms as you like, or use the * to watch all processes.

ZoomSaver scrolls large images accross the screen.

It's not really a screensaver, but if you add it to your Scheduled tasks, it will work like one. The upside to this is that you can have it running in the background, scrolling images accross you desktop all the time!

There's a lot of settings in the ini-file, but the most important is the
path= to your image files, and the
ontop= which controls the "screensaver" mode/"desktop" mode.

In "screensaver" mode you can also use the following keys: Space=Pause, Left=Previous image, Right=Next image, Del=Delete image, Esc=Quit

  Updated ShowOff to v1.2. Please delete your existing ini-file before upgrading, or run it in another directory.

Added info on how to turn off transparency, added user defined display time, changed how to show shift keys.

To oyster:
1. This is the actual state of things, Ctrl is in fact down after you release D. But I've taken your advice in v1.2 and I think it's a better solution. Maybe I'll show all keys pressed, just adding up until all are released again?

2. To change the order of displayed characters, place the shift keys farther up in the ini file. Also changed in v.1.2.

3. To accomodate for "all" keyboard layouts, I decided to include as many keys as possible. Just remove the ones you don't want and add the ones I didn't know about.

This is also why ShowOff doesn't display the "real keypress" - it can't tell the keyboard layout. If there's demand, I could make a proper user defined lookup table, something like

[Select]

LShift a=You pressed A.
LShift b=You pressed B.
...

Thank's Stefan!

I've just changed the detection of the start button, but I still don't know if it'll work with W2K.

If so, can I ask you to download and run AutoIt3 Windows Spy and report back the class and name of the start button? Just download and install AutoHotkey form www.autohotkey.com and run AutoIt3 Windows Spy from the AutoHotkey forlder on the start menu, then just click twise on the start button.
