 |
|
Can several ppl run this code and let me know if it covers all of the screen? That is the desired effect. Please attempt to move this GUI with the mouse by reaching to all edges of the screen, I am hoping that you shouldnt be able too. Please let me know what your resolution is should you help me test this. Note: END is a hot key to exit should there be any problems Thanks in advance | Code: | User_BackGround = C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Pictures\fake.bmp
Sys_Width = %A_ScreenWidth%
Sys_Height = %A_ScreenHeight%
Sys_Width -= 4
Sys_Height -= 10

1024 x 768 resolution, and it covered all of the screen.
Of course if I really wanted to move the window, then there are two approaches:
1) I pressed the windows key, and selected move from the taskbar icon right-click menu
2) Alt+Space menu, and same move command |

Yes I thought about those problems and these too while attemping to build an "OS Look Alike"
1 How do I keep a user from moving the window via all hot key attempts
2 How do I keep this over the task bar at all times while still making all Icons there accessible
3 How can I keep the Gui on the Bottom of the windows stack at all times so that its always a Back ground item, even when its the active window
4 Alt+ Tab brings the taskbar back in view
those are the 4 main ones that came to mind at first.

You could start by doing one or more or more of the following options prior to the first "Gui Add": "Gui -SysMenu -MinimizeBox".

You might consider making your script the shell instead of Explorer. I think this can be done via the registry somehow.

Experiment with "Gui +Disabled +AlwaysOnTop". However, that might prevent clicks on the window's icons from working. You could also use "WinSet Bottom" repeatedly via SetTimer.

You could try hiding the taskbar via "WinHide ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd". |

This is possible, but I think it's done in one of the system config files. Also, you can't switch shells without a full reboot for some reason. That said, you can use anything as a shell, even an AHK script. I've tried it before, but I've never been able to find tray icon software that actually works by itself. Anyway, Litestep's good enough for me. |

You can do this by editing the SYSTEM.INI file in c:/windows or c:/winnt with a text editor.
Under the section [boot] change the line
shell=explorer.exe
to
shell=c:/shell/shell.exe
Though I don't know what will happen if you don't point it at an actual shell replacement. | Quote: | | You might consider making your script the shell instead of Explorer. |

Though I don't know what will happen if you don't point it at an actual shell replacement. Its worth having something like Knoppix handy, just in case windows doesn't like it and won't load properly. You can use it to open and edit the SYSTEM.INI file back again.

Note that if you change the shell to anything other than explorer.exe, you will lose access to the taskbar, system tray, desktop icons, and many more of the built-in features (usually the ones that rely on Internet Explorer). It is only suggested for use with an actual shell replacement like Litestep or Talisman and you should know what you're doing. Also, be comfortable with working in DOS mode in case something goes wrong.
Just my two cents for anyone who's thinking of trying that. |
