I have been having a problem with the "SPY" program. It's a wonderful facility and helps enormously. The problem is minor and may be due to the fact that I'm getting old and my eyes are not as strong as they once were. But the color of a pixel is reported as a hex number and on my system, the number "8" and the hex letter "B" are so similar in the SPY program, it is very difficult to tell them apart. I have a 19" monitor and I think the font used in the SPY program is something that is predetermined. I mean, I don't think it's anything I can change? If so, it would be great if there were a way I could change the font or make it larger.

A couple of very minor typos from the Help document: In the section Hotkeys - under Hotkey Tips & Remarks - It says, "By means the Hotkey command" - should it be "By means of the Hotkey command?

Also, The command "Loop (read file contents)" states - A file-reading loop is useful when you want to operate each line contained in a text file. Should this be "to operate on each line"?


I read in the Help file that the operator "==" differs from the operator "=". The Help file makes it sound like the only difference is for text strings and that "==" is only different from "=" when dealing with case-sensitive strings. But I find that "==" almost never returns TRUE - even when comparing two numbers. My experience is that when comparing two numbers, "==" is always FALSE - even when the two numbers are equal. So, I just don't use "==" now, and unless I am misunderstanding something, I would think the Help file could be changed? Unfortunately, I have a feeling that I am misunderstanding.

These things are all very minor. The SPY utility is a great tool. I surely dont mean to malign any of the things in this post. I just thought you should know.

thanks for the report. in general, typos in the documentation are handled in this thread: http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2822

I have added a pointer there to this topic. Chris usually responds quickly to such changes.
