AutoHotkey Community

SqtPooki, your idea is essentially what I am aiming for when I get time to work on my settings front end again, though I have no idea when that will be.

Provided RM goes to colab. development, it may just be easier to integrate it into RM instead of having a different script interact with it.

My original attempt was not drag&drop, and created an always-open RM that would change as you added items via a gui that it was docked to, but I only got about 50% done with that, and RM was still undergoing frequent and radical changes at that time.

I'm hoping to get some free time this weened to start looking at it, but no promises

Also, I do like your idea of not having to click to show sub-menu. Maybe a small hover delay could be implemented instead?

@XionII & SgtPooki, thanks for kind words.

I do not encourage auto submenu open when you hover over item. Why? Limitation to just one ring in main menu. Read this.

@Elesar & SgtPooki:
- Automatic icon extraction if target is an exe, overwrite if custom one is set.
- Center clock as an option (an earlier post showed this, I really like it)
- Modular Skinning (LiquidGravity is already working on this)
Great suggestions. I encourage them all.

If you will create RM settings script, please, try to make it a stand alone script. I strongly insist on that. So when you run RM settings script:
1) it exits RM (if it is running)
2) loads RM in "edit mode"
3) when user finishes customization, it writes values to .ini files and
4) reloads RM

Some guidlines:
1) very long self-explainable variable names are always better than short ones. Example: AutoSubmenuMarking is always better than ASM
2) write comments
3) if you will edit RM main script, try to preserve code structure at all costs

In upcoming RM update: possibility to set button positioning separately for main menu and submenus, possibility to change window's transparency
by dragging and sliding over window's caption with RMShowHotkey, Sort RM Items.ahk utility, some reliability improvements, maybe something else...

BTW, if somebody likes LiquidGravity's or Houndx's modifications, say it! I said I like them. Saying nice mod is the minimal reward for their efforts.

I didn't think of that. You would only be limited to one ring, and it would be a pain if you accidentally hovered over one button you didn't mean to..

But I am all for the hard challenges, thats why I started programming

We could easily verify that hovering over a button wouldn't cause a problem and open the submenu at that point, or require a click if hovering would cause annoyance.

If I didn't explain that well enough:

If (CurrentMenuRing == 1LevelDeep) && (mousehover %submenubutton%)
{
goto open submenu code
}
else
{
wait for click
}

Radial menu v3.18 updated (v3.1807)

Changes:
- one (visual) surprise
- click & horizontal drag over window's caption will change window's transparency. Drag left increases and drag right decreases transparency.
(one more built-in NCHITTEST Extra.ahk functionality)
- ButtonPositioning split to MMButtonPositioning and SMButtonPositioning - now you can change button positioning separately for main menu and submenus
- Sort RM Items.ahk - new utility located in Utilities folder. Read description section in it.
- updated RM help file
- some other changes

@LiquidGravity: I'll implement modular themes in RM v3.19

Very nice skin and the transparency is an awesome effect.

Can't wait for V3.19!

I'm working on that animated PNG thing. Hopefully I'll have it all figured out for V3.2

That new skin is really really awesome... crazy cool! Being able to make windows different levels of transparency is nifty too.

@LiquidGravity: Animated PNG? Never heard of such a thing. Sounds like I can't wait for it!

P.S.
Just an afterthought; It would be kinda neat to have a line follow the movement of your mouse icon when you are doing mouse gestures.

P.P.S
I'll keep it to the point; I was messing with MyMouseGestures, in particular trying to get UD to show the desktop.
MG_UD() {
Send #D
}
This doesn't work. It simply types D. Is there a better command to show the desktop?
Thanks.

I cant get it working with Autohotkey_L, the radial menu doesn't show. (tried on v3.17 and 3.18)
I read the code, but I am clueless about which modification should be made.

Can anybody help, please?

Give WinMinimizeAll a try

Bug Report:

I really like the transparency utility added in the latest version. However, I have noticed that I frequently have to "refresh" a window to get the latest updates by changing transparency of the window.

My main issue is with Chrome, as when I reload a page or scroll up/down, it looks like the program freezes, but it is actually working, just not updating until I force refresh of the transparency.

@Elesar
Awesome. I knew there had to be a way! Thanks a ton, as this now freed up a whole space in RM main window!

edit: The only downside to WinMinimizeAll is that it doesn't bring windows back up. I take it WinMinimizeAllUndo would do that, but my skills aren't great enough to implement it when, say, the desktop is in focus. It will do for now, in any case.

edit2: I believe that I got it to work properly! Thanks again Elesar for setting me on the right path!

If I recall correctly, there might be some problems with IniRead, which this script uses a lot

Thanks, all of you.
@Loving this script: I haven't tried to use RM with Autohotkey_L. If you are using unicode AHK_L, maybe main RM script and all #included scripts
should be saved in unicode encoding?
@Elesar: Regarding transparency, I even asked for help while working on this. It looks like there is no solution, it can't work perfectly in all cases...
