Lemures Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 I wish to create a program that allows me to easily switch between "large icons + always combine" and "small icons + never combine". When using my computer, if I have very few things open, I'd like to have my taskbar like pre-Win7 OS's, where I can see the full label, they don't combine, etc. If I have many things open, it would be nice to be able to switch to having my open applications represented by only icons, and to have them combined. 1. Is there any way to hijack Windows 7's "show desktop" button in the lower right hand corner to toggle this functionality? 2. I have found the registry settings I need to change these settings, but how do I force a refresh on the taskbar so that it reloads the settings from the registry? The only way I can think of is to have autoit quickly open the properties of the taskbar then click OK, but, I'd rather just be able to straight up force a refresh. Any ideas?

AdmiralAlkex Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Why don't you use "Combine when taskbar is full". That would be a lot easier. .Some of my scripts: ShiftER, Codec-Control, Resolution switcher for HTC ShiftSome of my UDFs: SDL UDF, SetDefaultDllDirectories, Converting GDI+ Bitmap/Image to SDL Surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemures Posted March 2, 2010 Author Share Posted March 2, 2010 Why don't you use "Combine when taskbar is full". That would be a lot easier.Because at times, depending upon how my workspace needs to be set up for a particular task, it is better to have one or the other, as opposed to simply combine when full. I've tried it, and it just doesn't work the way I need it to. Good idea though.Also, I am highly interested in finding a way to hijack the Windows 7 show desktop gem. Any ideas?

Lemures Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 What about send('#d') I'm looking for a way to hijack the actual functionality of the show desktop gem button. Specifically, upon clicking it, instead of having it just show the desktop, I wish to have it do something of my own bidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemures Posted March 12, 2010 Author Share Posted March 12, 2010 Sorry for the bump, but I still have not found any method of doing either of these. Can anybody help to point me in the right direction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
