Here it is, it turned out very nice and simple..
what it does:
press ctrl+space to hide the current window
you can show it by clicking ctrl+1
or if you already have another window hidden ctrl+2, etc.. (hide 4 windows max..)
if you press ctrl+enter you can see a nice gui with the hidden windows, click one to show it,,
press ctrl+backspace to delete the gui..
and press escape to exit.
Press right mouse button on a screenshot and then close this win... to close it.. or do this by the traymenu..
all bugs are fixed!!

New functions:
shows all windows when you exit..
when it hides a window it writes the title to a log
when it shows all windows it reads the log and then shows those..
so there isn't a chance to lose a window

Interesting and nifty.
However, pressing CTRL-SPace then CTRL ETNER then do it again while you have one window in the "space selection window" will crash the app wtih a array error.
And the problem with that is that the windows are then lost.
For example, you have 2 messenger windows open, you hide both, the app crashes. Then you will have to restart messenger to get the conversation windows back.

I see, I will have a look on how to fix this..
and then theres another issue.. I want my ctrl+enter gui transparent I did this already but then the screenshot looks rubbish.. so then I asked on general help and support how to make a control fully visible but that didn't help really either.. So.. does anybody know how to make a control completely visible and the gui with some trans..?

Haha, just figured some more about vista's CHEAP design.



Anyway, If you add more than 4 objects, none of the objects can be selected.
Sometimes i cannot add new objects.
And if you go into spaces without having any objects you are unable to get back without having to restart the app.

[ludocus]

yeh I saw that, allot of bugs.. trying 2 fix them now..

[ludocus]

New update!!.. So all bugs are fixed now.. it doesn't matter wich window you show first..
you can now also close the windows!!

[malu05]

Seems cool now, tho you can still add 5+ windows but it only supports 4 which leads to suggestions.

Support for more than 4 windows.
Scale windows acording to Winsize/space so high windows won't be stretched.

But the coolest thing you could add, that updated UDF that was released for PNG support (been around for a long time i know).
Make a frame. Scale down the windows to 25/ScreenWidth and same for height.
Then make the window selector a popup instead of a fullscreen thing like spaces in OSX.

Just like:


The PNG stuff UDF is really easy to get up and working so it should be a easy task.

I don't really understand what you mean...

[malu05]

I don't really understand what you mean...

A... if you add 5 windows, you can only see 4.. sometimes even only 3 for some wierd reason.
So you should add support for more than just 4 windows.
B... To make it even more effective and less calculations you should enstead of the big white fullscreen GUI where you can select the windows, make a window like the one i posted on the picture where you can select the windows from.
