  3. GetMenuString fails with Photoshop Menus - any Idea?

    in Developers' Hangout

    Posted

    Thanks for the answer and insights, yes that helped.

    I'm trying to put together a little quicksilver-esque program which lets you search incrementally

    through the active windows' menu and send a WM_COMMAND message with the associated menu id.

    This works flawlessly with standard windows applications, but fails with certain fancy menus.

    For Photoshop I went the extra mile and exported the default menu structure via Photoshop itself as a .htm file,

    read out the menu IDs and put all this together in a text file which serves as a kind of plugin.

    The downside off this is the amount of work to put this file together (and maintain it for different languages),

    and the inability to determine the state of menu item (eg. menu items appearing in the list which are MFS_DISABLED or/and MFS_GRAYED)

    I'm using AHK, which offers some ways to hook into windows, but I agree that it is not worth the hassle. (I really should get around to actually learn a higher level language.)

    Anyways, thanks :)

  5. Scripting Angles

    in Developers' Hangout

    Posted

    I'm not going to pretend that I have any actual knowledge of maths, or guarantee that this is what you've searched for,

    but here's a (shortened) code snippet I used in a scripting language to get x/y data for positioning buttons in a circular form.

    Maybe it's useful for you:

    DrawCircle(center_x, center_y, Radius, NumOfItems)
    {
    	Degree = 0
    	PointSpacing := 360 / NumOfItems

    	Loop, %NumOfItems%
    	{
    		XPos := sin(DegToRad(Degree)) * Radius + center_x
    		YPos := cos(DegToRad(Degree)) * Radius + center_y

    		Degree += PointSpacing
    	}
    }

    (This'll start the the Circle at 6 o' clock, then proceed clockwise.)

  8. Weird 3D display problem

    in Computing Discussion

    Posted

    Argh, I was dead tired yesterday and forgot some info - thanks for the advice, I'll have a look at the fan (which I took off during cleaning)... D'oh!

    On the secondary thing... I'm running a dual monitor setup, the primary port connected to the primary monitor.

    During games, I still can see the Desktop on the secondary monitor, which screws up too, at the peak of the errors. (but in a different pattern.)

    I've never even heard of a crossfire mode, but I'll look into it.

    The pattern on the screen is like a second (but frozen) image - which overlays suddenly, not gradually. I'll try to make a video of the problem later.

    Thanks for your advice, guys!

    Edit: The fan's running, as far as I can see. I'll check the card itself later.

  9. Weird 3D display problem

    Okay, folks, please bear with me. I am uttermost illiterate when it comes to all things related hardware.

    Since recently, my display acts up when I try to run 3D games, it works for a short time, but then goes all crazy:

    screen.jpg

    At most times, the pc crashes after that. I installed new drivers, but to no avail.

    I don't really have the heart to admit this, but recently I took my graphics card apart too clean it from dust... I really hope I didn't damage anything.

    The card's a ASUS X800GTO Series Secondary, according to AIDA32.

    Did I really feck up my graphics card..? :(

    Hammer! Sieht perfekt aus... :)

    Wird das ein Visual Style?

    Thank you! :)

    This is developed to be a WindowBlinds Skin, but there have been many requests for a Msstyle version...

    So, either someone is willing to port it, or I'll do it... sometime.

    Awesome shot, you should definitely release that :)

    Looks different then most of the skins released nowadays ;)

    Thank you, I'm very glad you like it :)

    I am halfway through, the theme itself is almost done,

    the next days I'll begin working on the per App substyles and Firefox theme...

  23. With SkinStudio quirks

    in Visual Styles

    Posted

    Issue number one seems not to be easy to fix, just for the record:

    it seems the extra space is caused by the WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE window style which seems to be default for SysListView controls, and thus not changeable via WB.

    Anyone up for issue number two?

    @Ertai:

    Depends on what a full gui kit is - there will be (a) different substyle(s), a Miranda skin, maybe a Firefox theme and possibly two wallpapers released alongside with it, so it's not a only the VS :)

    Edit:

    The messed-up text in the context menu seems to be caused by the dark menu background.

    Workarounds are either turning Cleartype off, or not to use a dark menu background (dang)

    Has anyone seen a WB skin where there is a working example of a dark context menu background?

  24. With SkinStudio quirks

    in Visual Styles

    Posted

    Hey guys, my first take on SkinStudio is coming along rather nicely, but there are some quirks, that I don't get my head around:

    vs_01.jpg

    1) Is there a way to decrease this 1px offset of the ListView header?

    2) ClearType seems to mess up the text in context menus, but not on every menu... Any Idea how to fix that?
