Hi guys.
I just finished the first stage of my program HotShow.
The program simply displays hotkeys pressed in a very elegant window, for use in video tutorials.
Is a personal project. I will use it to create video tutorials but I thought it might come handy to other people as well and actually maybe you can extract any code that you would like to use for other purposes.
The Background image can be downloaded from here:

Or just use the compiled version which has it integrated.
Compiled version can be downloaded from here:

Code:
/*
-------------------------------------------------------
HotShow 1.0
-------------------------------------------------------
This program will show any pressed key or combination
of keys on screen in a very elegant way.
Perfect for people who creates video tutorials
and want to show which hotkeys they press during
a demostration of the software being used.

As I said this is just a quick code for my personal use but i plan to make it more customizable... different backgrounds, fade times, position and all the other parameters.
Feel free to suggest features or even optimize the code since i am not a great coder yet.

Customization of:

-Fade in/Fade out settings
-Window Positioning options
-A Function that if the program detects a word instead of a shortcut it will wait for what you typed and then display the whole word/sentence at once.
