please make some new dialogs, and zip them up with any images or sound not already included with dr.window and attach.

what a good idea!
I'm thinking of creating a set for my wife to remind her how lucky she is to have me

How hard would it be to select messages on context ... for a few popular apps only.
eg, word is running, select a message about typing skills, ie/firefox/maxthon running, select message about websites.

You crazy little thing, very funny idea

Suggestion one:

implement an option to test the messages.
Maybe in the CTRL+tray menu => "Test Message ..." .... to load/launch an config file.

Suggestion two:

use an Settings file for to config when what message should appear:

#####################################
Settings.cfi
--------------

RunEverySec=10 'every 10 seconds
reformat
Donate
</>

RunEverySec=300-600 'every 5 till 10 minutes at random
hardware1
</>

RunEverySec=3600 'every hour
Reminder
</>

RunEverySec=60,300,600 'every minute, than in 5min, than in 10min...
...
</>

RunEverySec=86400-90123 'ones a day (at random time after 24 hours)
...
</>

RunOn=1200 'highnoon, to start on an given time
break
</>

RunOn=0900,1200,1500,1800
cuckoo
</>

#####################################

Thank you...

Hmm, my X-Mas.cfg didn't start ?!
Only hardware1 appears from time to time...

X-Mas.cfg

Quote

Title: X-Mas Reminder
Text: Windows has detected that X-Mas is near.\nGo up, buy a present for you lovely.
Bitmap: images\heart.ico

Button: .No Lovely
Button: Ok, OK
ButtonLink: reformat.cfg

---------------------- Edit:
> stefan, you have to restart the program to get it to see new .cfg files; i will modify this in next version.

Oh iam silly

good idea stefan, i will add to next version.

i also like your idea to be able to set a time for activating; maybe even a day and time for special occasions, just have to come up with good agreement on how to specify it.

do we want to use a single file like Schedule.txt which when in schedule mode would just consist of lines line:
Dialog: reminder.cfg
RunOn: 1200
Dialog: reformat.cfg
RunOn: 2000
etc.

or do we want the time info in each cfg file?

AbteriX · « **Reply #8 on:** December 07, 2005, 03:02 PM »

> the time info in each cfg file?...
... is good thinking for the moment... you create your CFG and add the specific time settings.

~~But if you used to use more CFGs you would be happy to config this at an central point.~~

Or.. NO, forget this, the time info in each cfg file is pretty good enought!
Just add an Label like "Active=0" for into the CFGs for to disable an single CFG.

mouser · « **Reply #9 on:** December 07, 2005, 03:08 PM »

there is a problem i think with putting the info in the .cfg files, which is if people share .cfg files they would have to edit them each time to change their scheduled settings..

AbteriX · « **Reply #10 on:** December 07, 2005, 03:14 PM »

Request CFG setting:

OnTop=1

to let the message stay on the top of all windows.

AbteriX · « **Reply #11 on:** December 07, 2005, 03:16 PM »

Request:

Don't display leading dot in button name:

It's not a bug, it's a feature: so i share the hole settings.

And... who's the diff between edit in the global-setting-file or in the CFG? (OK, Without you got ten CFGs and must open all ten to edit scheduls, hmm, how often happens this?)

mouser · « **Reply #13 on:** December 07, 2005, 04:41 PM »
