Ascend4nt Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) Spotlight + Focus GUI's This is the latest experiment dealing with screen-dimming and focus. The spotlight effect works by dimming the entire screen except the small 'spotlight' area where the mouse is, so that you can focus on and read/work on that area with less eyestrain. Its a work in progress, however I've added some tweaks to it to make it a bit more interesting (and potentially useful!). In my experiments, the Spotlight and Focus GUI's are pretty nice when used in combination with RedShiftGUI (portable version here), an eyestrain-relieving color temperature shifter, or my >Windows Dimmer project. Also, a previous, separate, version of the Focus-GUI can be located within the Windows Dimmer zip file. Currently the spotlight + focus script has these features: Spotlight-GUI effect: A circular, rounded-square or rounded-rectangle area of the screen is set to 'full-brightness', while everything around it is dimmed. Locked-Spotlight GUI: Press CTRL+SHIFT+DOWN-ARROW when your have the spotlight area positioned, and it will remain locked in that position until released via the same key (or the Tray menu). Focus-GUI effect: The currently Active window is set to 'full-brightness', while everything around it is dimmed. Locked-Focus GUI: Press CTRL+SHIFT+SPACEBAR to keep the currently active window highlighted. Note this only keeps the rectangle visible, so any other windows overlapping the Focused GUI will have partial highlighting. Crosshair Mouse Cursor: All mouse cursors (save for resize-window cursors) are replaced with a simple crosshair. This provides a nice aesthetic compliment to the spotlight effect. (An optional diagonal X-hair is available, as well as no mouse icons at all - see source) Tweaks via the Tray that are persistent on NTFS systems (see below). Much more can be done here with tweaks - dimming percentages, focus-area sizes, etc Current control-focus following is not implemented: The Spotlight GUI only tracks mouse movement at the moment. Tracking the 'active' control focus (using mouse or keyboard) like Windows Magnifier does requires a bit more work; initial experiments indicate that GetGUIThreadInfo on 'Active' window can often make this possible but some apps don't report info correctly and need something like MSAA or UIAutomation (see >IUIAutomation MS framework by junkew). In the extreme, one can also hook the Mouse and Keyboard events but it still won't give the accurate keyboard focus information for different programs. Settings as adjusted in the tray will be persisted only on NTFS file systems. This can easily be changed, but its there to show one use of NTFS's Alternate Data Streams. The INI idea was inspired by nullscrhitt's '>Save INI data to exe. (while open)' thread. Also check out trancexx's '>Alternate Data Streams Viewer' if you'd like to see 'what lies beneath', or install a shell extension such as 'AltStreamOverlay' which lets you view it in the Windows properties dialog. For a list of ADS info on all files in a folder, check out AlternateStreamView @ Nirsoft. Things to note with this code: Certain windows will fight for topmost status. This is an annoying problem with Windows which there isn't any easy workaround. Its only temporary though; it will restore itself within another iteration of the Main loop. CTRL+SHIFT+DOWN-ARROW will toggle locking the Spotlight GUI in place. Also available in the Tray menu. CTRL+SHIFT+SPACEBAR will toggle locking the Focus GUI to a specific Window. Also available in the Tray menu. CTRL+ALT+Q will exit the program. 'Exit' in the Tray menu will do the same. Anyway, here's the codes! Changelog: 2014-05-12: - Added: Crosshair GUI options. The horizontal bar can be useful for helping focus on reading, but otherwise this is more of a 'neato' effect than anything. - Added: More mouse cursor options; saving of mouse cursor state between runs - Added: Focus GUI lockdown option. This will keep the currently focused GUI hightlighted until 'unlocked'. - Added: Mouse cursor 'sanity' checks - when there's a GUI change and there's no active mouse cursor, it will enable the crosshair cursors. Also, when enabling a full Crosshair GUI it will hide mouse cursors by default (they can be re-selected though). - Changed: Hotkey assignments - hopefully more workable now: CTRL+SHIFT+DOWN-ARROW locks/unlocks spotlight, CTRL+SHIFT+SPACEBAR locks/unlocks focus window. - Fixed: Dim effects are halved for each GUI when both are active, making for more consistent functionality - Fixed: Screen flashing issues when moving windows (except when over 100 transitions have occurred with Focus on - this is a Windows API memory leak workaround) - Fixed: Other stuff I can't remember! 2014-05-01: - Fixed: Resolution Changes in ALL orientations should now work with the Focus GUI - Fixed: Focus GUI _GuiHole had memory leaks for Regions, also took out unnecessary 3rd Region 2014-04-30: - Added: New Wide-Rect Spotlight - Added: Lock-Spotlight in Position - Fixed: Resolution-change issues under certaing circumstances. This was a bugger to workaround! - Fixed: Region-Transitions count issues - Improved: On-Top status for Spotlight GUI now fixes itself without Mouse movement 2014-04-28 Hotfix: - Fixed some global/local var issues - Fixed Focus GUI not showing itself after toggling and switching windows a number of times, or switching resolutions 2014-04-28: Version 3 (don't you worry what happened to version 2, now..): - Added: Option to use Rounded-Rect Spotlight - Added: Option to use Window-Focus GUI. This is basically 'WindowsFocusGUI' from the WindowsDimmer package integrated into the current script. - Added: Tray Menu configuration - Added: Persisted settings via NTFS ADS (Alternate Data Streams). See 1st post - Changed: Spotlight and Focus GUI updates are encapsulated within single functions (for the most part). - Fix: only one instance is allowed now - + Misc. other additions, fixes, and changes! 2014-04-24: Fixed Mouse cursors not being restored when not exited via Alt-Q expandcollapse popup#include <WinAPI.au3> #include <WinAPIGdi.au3> #include <WinAPISys.au3> ;#include <_MouseFunctions.au3> ; (Functions embedded) ; =============================================================================================================================== ; <WindowsSpotlightFocusGUI.au3> ; ; Spotlight/Focus GUI: Choose from 2 different styles of GUI 'focus': ; 1.

Ascend4nt Posted April 28, 2014 Author Posted April 28, 2014 Improved and Updated! To Version 3! 2014-04-28: Version 3 (don't you worry what happened to version 2, now..): - Added: Option to use Rounded-Rect Spotlight - Added: Option to use Window-Focus GUI. This is basically 'WindowsFocusGUI' from the WindowsDimmer package integrated into the current script. - Added: Tray Menu configuration - Added: Persisted settings via NTFS ADS (Alternate Data Streams). See 1st post - Changed: Spotlight and Focus GUI updates are encapsulated within single functions (for the most part). - Fix: only one instance is allowed now - + Misc. other additions, fixes, and changes!

Ascend4nt Posted May 1, 2014 Author Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) Another update! Version 4 perhaps? 2014-04-30: - Added: New Wide-Rect Spotlight - Fixed: Resolution-change issues under certaing circumstances. This was a bugger to workaround! - Fixed: Region-Transitions count issues - Improved: On-Top status for Spotlight GUI now fixes itself without Mouse movement - Added: Lock-Spotlight in Position Funny, I had noticed I have this program 'CinemaDrape' laying around, and thought 'well how hard would it be to add that'? And a little editing later, and now its implemented. Also, I thought a 'wide-rect' was appropriate as I can use that for reading certain areas of the screen - and the Lockdown ability makes it even better. Hmm, this is starting to feel more like a visual aid rather than just a eye relief utility. Another program I had, called 'Underline' helps in a simliar way.. and of course my >Full-Screen Crosshairs!

Lakes Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Some suggestions. Alt - down - arrow, wrong accidental use of this can flip your desktop, which blanked the screens on my machine! I`ve disabled this hotkey in my graphics card software now. Save setting (in an ini file) from last usage, i.e. normal mouse pointer, window focus etc. (Does not save settings for me from last usage). Lock focus to browser window setting, or detect video (youtube or other) and auto-dim. Special cut-down version - no tray icon, browser focus or video player detect auto dim 2015 - Still no flying cars, instead blankets with sleeves.

As far as mouse settings, I have a new version of the UDF which saves that, and also adds another feature.. although I'm not entirely sure its a feature or a bit of an 'oh neato' effect. I'll have to upload it in a bit to see if anyone cares about crosshair spotlights lol As far as locking focus to browser windows, I'm not sure I follow? The focus GUI should remain locked to the current window, even when you play a Youtube video full-screen.

JohnOne Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 gil9000, when you write something like "which I think is much better" then in English that appears to be stating that the subject or object is of more worth or more useful and outshines whatever you have compared it with. here it is not a competition and to state your work is better than someone else's is frankly arrogant and rude. If that is how you wanted to sound then that's fine, but... Please correct my English in this post. I want to learn how to write correctly in English AutoIt Absolute Beginners Require a serial Pause Script Video Tutorials by Morthawt ipify Monkey's are, like, natures humans.
Guest Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) I do not mean to say I did a better job(In fact I did a very poor job).. I really do not see it as competition.My intention was to give another idea so I gave a link to my script.I also meant to say that I personally think my idea better but I didn't did it for compete. I say that because it's my personal opinion ..I never thought about "competition" when I wrote the post.. just shared what I personally think and also wanted to share my idea so the OP maybe think about what else he can add to his script. Sometimes when I write something in English, it sounds NOT like I meant that it will sounds in original. I edited the post and corrected what I wrote Edited May 7, 2014 by Guest
Ascend4nt Posted May 7, 2014 Author Posted May 7, 2014 No worries Gil900. Your script suits your needs and thats fine.

Guest Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 I am happy to hear thatI'm glad something useful has been created as a result of my post
Lakes Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 (edited) Lakes, Sorry about the lame hotkey choice. You can easily edit the code to be whatever you want! As far as mouse settings, I have a new version of the UDF which saves that, and also adds another feature.. although I'm not entirely sure its a feature or a bit of an 'oh neato' effect. I'll have to upload it in a bit to see if anyone cares about crosshair spotlights lol As far as locking focus to browser windows, I'm not sure I follow? The focus GUI should remain locked to the current window, even when you play a Youtube video full-screen. As for the cut-down version, you can easily edit the code to do what you want or what you don't want. gil900, I don't think comparing something which sends messages to the Windows Magnifier qualifies as something 'much better' than this script. My script does a whole lot more, and doesn't rely on nircmd or funky mouse moves. But, due to you I've just discovered the true Magnifier API and have done work on that - see my >Magnifier Functions UDF. Now that is definitely better than your script I'll edit the script down to just focus on my browser window for now. I`ll have a look at your updated version too. Thanks.

Ascend4nt Posted May 12, 2014 Author Posted May 12, 2014 New update: 2014-05-12: - Added: Crosshair GUI options. The horizontal bar can be useful for helping focus on reading, but otherwise this is more of a 'neato' effect than anything. - Added: More mouse cursor options; saving of mouse cursor state between runs - Added: Focus GUI lockdown option. This will keep the currently focused GUI hightlighted until 'unlocked'. - Added: Mouse cursor 'sanity' checks - when there's a GUI change and there's no active mouse cursor, it will enable the crosshair cursors. Also, when enabling a full Crosshair GUI it will hide mouse cursors by default (they can be re-selected though). - Changed: Hotkey assignments - hopefully more workable now: CTRL+SHIFT+DOWN-ARROW locks/unlocks spotlight, CTRL+SHIFT+SPACEBAR locks/unlocks focus window. - Fixed: Dim effects are halved for each GUI when both are active, making for more consistent functionality - Fixed: Screen flashing issues when moving windows (except when over 100 transitions have occurred with Focus on - this is a Windows API memory leak workaround) - Fixed: Other stuff I can't remember! Lakes, I added lock/unlock to the Focus GUI - I think that's more or less what you wanted? It won't save the window between launches though, as it's just not feasable. The window handle can't be used, the title can change, and even the windows attributes can change. The Window Classname might be the closest we could get to matching to a window, but even then there can be multiple windows with that classname. So, yeah.. you have to do it manually for now My contributions: Performance Counters in Windows - Measure CPU, Disk, Network etc Performance | Network Interface Info, Statistics, and Traffic | CPU Multi-Processor Usage w/o Performance Counters | Disk and Device Read/Write Statistics | Atom Table Functions | Process, Thread, & DLL Functions UDFs | Process CPU Usage Trackers | PE File Overlay Extraction | A3X Script Extract | File + Process Imports/Exports Information | Windows Desktop Dimmer Shade | Spotlight + Focus GUI - Highlight and Dim for Eyestrain Relief | CrossHairs (FullScreen) | Rubber-Band Boxes using GUI's (_GUIBox) | GUI Fun! | IE Embedded Control Versioning (use IE9+ and HTML5 in a GUI) | Magnifier (Vista+) Functions UDF | _DLLStructDisplay (Debug!) | _EnumChildWindows (controls etc) | _FileFindEx | _ClipGetHTML | _ClipPutHTML + ClipPutHyperlink | _FileGetShortcutEx | _FilePropertiesDialog | I/O Port Functions | File(s) Drag & Drop | _RunWithReducedPrivileges | _ShellExecuteWithReducedPrivileges | _WinAPI_GetSystemInfo | dotNETGetVersions | Drive(s) Power Status | _WinGetDesktopHandle | _StringParseParameters | Screensaver, Sleep, Desktop Lock Disable | Full-Screen Crash Recovery Wrappers/Modifications of others' contributions: _DOSWildcardsToPCRegEx (original code: RobSaunder's) | WinGetAltTabWinList (original: Authenticity) UDF's added support/programming to: _ExplorerWinGetSelectedItems | MIDIEx UDF (original code: eynstyne) (All personal code/wrappers centrally located at Ascend4nt's AutoIT Code)
