Hi @WildByDesign, Thank you for the feedback and nice words I'm glad to hear it will be put to good use Thanks for the information about KDE/snoretoast, i will differently look at the codebase later, and see if there is anything I'm missing Edit: And thank you for the star on GitHub

Hi @Gianni, Sorry for the late reply. First of all thank you for the nice words . Yes i noticed that, that's why my demo downloads an image instead. I'm not currently sure why it does not work. 🤷‍♂️ I seem to remember some documentation mentioning requirements like maximum response time and file size, but i cannot find that currently. It seems to be the case, when the app is not registered with the system. After adding the registry and registering the COM objects, activationType foreground also works. Again, not sure why, currently. This is a very cool tool for crafting toast UI, thanks Edit: I can see the tool might be available as open source on GitHub, so maybe I'll make an AutoIt version at some point, for fun Ah, thank you

trick for ToolTip with timer Func _ToolTip($sText, $iX = Default, $iY = Default, $sTitle = "", $iIcon = 0, $iTimeout = 1500, $iOptions = 0) AdlibUnRegister("_ToolTipKiller") ; This prevents the previous timer from closing the new tooltip.

in my opinion you don't need so many windows (one to activate, and one to deactivate) #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1) Global $Form1, $mForm1Button Global $iWidth = 735, $iHeight = 48, $ixpos = -1, $iypos = -1, $iOpt = 1, $sFontName = "Corbel Bold", $iFontSize = 16, $iFontWt = 800 Forms() ; ----------------------------------------------- Func Forms() $Form1 = GUICreate(" ", 150, 40, 1270, 20) GUISetFont(14, $iFontWt, $GUI_FONTNORMAL, $sFontName) GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "_CloseForm") $mForm1Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Enable Hotkey", 10, 10, 130, 20) GUICtrlSetOnEvent($mForm1Button, "_ColRow") GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $Form1) ; ----------------- While 1 Sleep(10) WEnd EndFunc ;==>Forms ; ----------------------------------------------- Func _ColRow() Switch @GUI_CtrlId Case $mForm1Button _Togle_NUMPADSUB() EndSwitch EndFunc ;==>_ColRow ; ----------------------------------------------- Func _CloseForm() Switch @GUI_WinHandle Case $Form1 Exit EndSwitch EndFunc ;==>_CloseForm ; ----------------------------------------------- Func _Togle_NUMPADSUB() Local Static $bEnabled = True Local $aGuiPos = WinGetPos($Form1) If $bEnabled Then HotKeySet("{NUMPADSUB}", "UpdateF12SceneData") _ToolTip(" ", $aGuiPos[0], $aGuiPos[1] - 10, "HotKey is now enabled", 1, 2000) GUICtrlSetData($mForm1Button, "Disable Hotkey") GUICtrlSetBkColor($mForm1Button, 0xCAE4FF) ; ⚠ extra color indicator Else HotKeySet("{NUMPADSUB}") _ToolTip(" ", $aGuiPos[0], $aGuiPos[1] - 10, "HotKey is now disabled...", 3, 2000) GUICtrlSetData($mForm1Button, "Enable Hotkey") GUICtrlSetBkColor($mForm1Button, 0xE1E1E1) ; ⚠extra color indicator Sleep(1500) ; give time to show the _ToolTip WinClose($Form1) EndIf $bEnabled = Not $bEnabled EndFunc ;==>_TogleF10 ; ----------------------------------------------- Func UpdateF12SceneData() _ToolTip(" ", @DesktopWidth / 2, @DesktopHeight / 3, "UpdateF12SceneData ... do your staff", 2) EndFunc ;==>_CallF10 ; ----------------------------------------------- ; ToolTip functions Func _ToolTip($s_Text, $i_X = Default, $i_Y = Default, $s_Title = "", $i_Icon = 0, $i_Timeout = 1500, $iOptions = 0) AdlibUnRegister("_ToolTipKiller") ; This prevents the previous timer from closing the new tooltip.

boy15, Welcome to the AutoIt forums. But I am afrid that we need some more information before we can even begin to help. Can you please post a small example script which exhibits this behaviour and also let us know what languages are being corrupted. Then perhaps we can make some sensible suggestions. M23
