Hey I Use Control + Scroll Up/Down To Change The Volume...

This Is The Code For It:

Code:

^WheelUp::
SoundSetWaveVolume, +5
SoundGetWaveVolume, CurrentVolI
SetFormat float, 0.0
CurrentVolI+=0
ToolTip, Volume: %CurrentVolI% Percent
SetTimer, RemoveVolume2, 2000
Return
RemoveVolume2:
SetTimer, RemoveVolume2, Off
ToolTip
Return

^WheelDown::
SoundSetWaveVolume, -5
SoundGetWaveVolume, CurrentVolII
SetFormat float, 0.0
CurrentVolII+=0
ToolTip, Volume: %CurrentVolII% Percent
SetTimer, RemoveVolume2, 2000
Return
RemoveVolume2:
SetTimer, RemoveVolume2, Off
ToolTip
Return

Once The Volume Is Changed A Tooltip Comes Up For 2 Seconds Saying The New Set Volume...

How Do I Change The Colours Of The Tooltip?

I Looked Up The Colour Tool Tip Post But Didn't Quiet Understand It... Lil Help?

If You Do Reply To This And Know The Solution To This Can You Please Re-write The Whole Script And Paste The Code, As I Will Not Be Able To Work Out Where To Put The Code That You Will Enter...

Here's The Code For Tooltip Colours I Got From This Post:

Code:

sTooltip("Tooltip with custom Colors",5,0xffff00,0x00ff00)

sTooltip(sTooltipTxt,seconds=5,bg=0xFFFFE7,fg=0x0,x=-1,y=-1) {
; (w) derRaphael / zLib Style released / v 0.3
if (Seconds+0=0)
Seconds = 5
StartTime := EndTime := A_Now
EnvAdd,EndTime,Seconds,Seconds

fg := ((fg&255)<<16)+(((fg>>8)&255)<<8)+(fg>>16) ; rgb -> bgr
bg := ((bg&255)<<16)+(((bg>>8)&255)<<8)+(bg>>16) ; rgb -> bgr

tooltip,% (ttID:="TooltipColor " A_TickCount)
tThWnd1:=WinExist(ttID ahk_class tooltips_class32)
; remove border
; WinSet,Style,-0x800000,ahk_id %tThWnd1%
SendMessage, 0x413, bg,0,, ahk_id %tThWnd1% ; 0x413 is TTM_SETTIPBKCOLOR
SendMessage, 0x414, fg,0,, ahk_id %tThWnd1% ; 0x414 is TTM_SETTIPTEXTCOLOR
; according to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb760411(VS.85).aspx
; there is no limitation on vista for this.
Loop,
{
if (EndTime=A_Now)
Break
else
if (x<0) || (y<0)
ToolTip, %sTooltipTxt%
else
ToolTip, %sTooltipTxt%, %x%, %y%
sleep, 50
}
ToolTip
}

usage:

Code:

sTooltip(sTooltipTxt,seconds=5,bg=0xFFFFE7,fg=0x0,x=-1,y=-1)

aboves line is from function declaration it can be read as this:

sTooltipTxt is a variable or a String containing the text to show
seconds is the time in seconds to show the tip the =5 shows its default value of 5 seconds
bg is the backgroundcolor - the 0x (needed) is to show its a hexadecimal number of 6 digits length (3 pairs). each pair represents a part of color. eg 1st two the redcolor, 2nd the green color, 3rd the blue part. it works much the same as colors in html - its default is ffffe7 which is the yellowish standard color.
fg is the foregroundcolor. the declaration is the same as with background
0x0 is the same as 0x000000 and means black as default value.
x and y are coordinates. unless u need to u can dismiss these safely to follow the tooltip the mouse for the time being displayed.

i hope this makes it a lil bit clearer of how to use it.

greets
dR
