On Screen Display
December 15, 2001 07:57PM
<HTML>I just finished an on screen display plugin, available on the plugins page, and which will be included in the next release.

Give it a try, and fire off the usual questions, comments, suggestions. Thanks.

<HTML>O.k., you can now change your font, and I've redone the positioning system to use standard locations instead of x/y coordinates. It works better that way.

<HTML>I'm using mine to show the result from sending messages to winamp to change songs (eg. Winamp - Next) in the upper right hand corner, as well as to show the result from commands that the effect isn't immediately noticeable, eg, temporarly disabling strokeit.

I'm also considering using the technology and writing a winamp specific plugin that will show the song name use the OSD after you change it. What do you think?

<HTML>That sounds good but we can achieve that with a WinAmp OSD plugin. Would there be any advantage to doing it in TweakIt?

It would be good if we could use the On Screen Display to flash up the command that has been registered. Specifically it could show us which command of which application has been triggered as I have managed to redefine things I actually wanted as global as commands in other apps and then spent ages working out why my global command hasn't been triggered. Alternatively could Tweak It inform you when you had duplicated a gesture either twice in the same app or between an appa and the globals?</HTML>

<HTML>The advantage is that you don't need to install the WinAmp OSD plugin.

I could probably work in some notifications or something similar when loading action files that have the same gesture used more than once.

I wouldn't want to add any notification when a gesture is used globally and then used again in a specific action because that's the intended behaviour. Global actions are really "default" actions, and they can be overridden.

<HTML>Just my brain censoring the obvious sexual overtones out of StrokeIt ;-)


Just a thought. If you go commercial but release a lite version for free, you could call it 'StrokeIt, Baby'...</HTML>

<HTML>What sexual over tones? There aren't any. We're good kids. ;-)

Nope, I haven't. I've been exceptionally busy recently, and am about to move (again), so that's gonna be taking a back burner.

Additionally, I'd like to see special commands, solely for the purpose of being interpreted via OSD like %clipboard%, %date%, %time% and many more, I can't imagine at the moment ;-)
WinAmp-Tunes are for sure a cool idea I support.

I think is going to wait until a scripting engine is implimented in StrokeIt. At that point, I'll finalize the OSD functions in the plugin, cleanup the code, and expose an API for creating OSD's.

Until then, sorry folks.

This plug-in sounds good. I'd like to get it but when I go to the plug-ins page, only the mintotray is shown. What am I missing?
