Hi @genius257 Your input data reader works great! I added several inputs and buttons for a quick, rough test, and the values entered into the "toast" are returned to the callback and parsed correctly by your function. It appears that a notification toast doesn't allow more than 5 inputs; each selector input can't contain more than 5 options, and buttons can't exceed 5. Text inputs allow about 2,000 characters. But these limitations are due to the inherent features of Microsoft notification toasts, not your code. ... these toasts are funny...

nice Its a bit off-topic - but I don't think we can do a "proper" full screen player via XAML islands. (It can obviously be simulated though) from: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/desktop/modernize/xaml-islands/xaml-islands If i have time over the weekend I'll try the WinUI3 version. We'll see if it that fares any better...

Tremendous! Thank you, this gives me something to tinker with!

And with that, thanks to @MattyD and @UEZ for the WorkerW code, we have GPU accelerated desktop wallpaper videos. On line 24, you just have to add a path to an MP4 video or any video that MediaPlayerElement supports. CPU usage is lower than all of the animated GIF scripts in the forum, even while stretching the video when necessary. Example and live wallpaper video file have been moved to: AutoIt Live Wallpaper

Since my line of work is in the computer security world, I am not a big fan of patching binaries and invalidating digital signatures. But I am a big fan of the work that you do for the AutoIt community, Matty. And I am curious about this project as well. Therefore, I wanted to provide an alternative way to do this without invalidating the digital signatures of the binaries. You need to drop the two manifest files into your AutoIt directory alongside the matching binaries. Pre-Win10, this would have been enough. However, in Win10/Win11 they made it so that you could not use manifest files within %WINDIR%, %PROGRAMFILES% or %PROGRAMFILES(X86)% directories and subdirectories. To allow, run the following from an elevated command prompt: REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SideBySide /v PreferExternalManifest /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f There is no need to reboot after this change. To disallow, run the following from an elevated command prompt: REG ADD HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SideBySide /v PreferExternalManifest /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f Cheers!
