 |
|
I was trying Stardocks Fences program and if you double click on the desktop, the icons hide/unhide.
Instead of installing a program for this (and other features), is there an AHK script that will accomplish this for me please?
Thanks very much. |

Tested ony in XP. If Double-Click-On-Desktop does not work for you, you may use the Hotkey Ctrl+Win+d
You need to Double-Click on the empty area of the desktop, which is the intended feature.

I have taken SKAN's script above and replaced "toggledesktopicons"
with a variant that should do the job with less delay:
| Code: |
~LButton::
If ( A_PriorHotKey = A_ThisHotKey && A_TimeSincePriorHotkey < 400 ) {
WinGetClass, Class, A
If Class in Progman,WorkerW
SetTimer, ToggleDesktopIcons, -50
}
Return
ToggleDesktopIcons:
var := (flag=0)? "Show" : "Hide"
flag := !flag
Run, ping,, min
WinExist("ahk_class Progman")
Control,%var%,, SysListView321
Return |

SKAN's script won't work in Win98SE. lazygeek's does, but only for hiding icons; they won't get restored until right-click > Refresh on desktop.
And as we know, the tilde (~) is ignored on 9x systems but looks like neither simple LButton/MButton are not read for me.
No big deal, just sayin'.

yes i have the same problem. icons was hided when double click on icons and icons can not be displayed when double click the area icons should be placed (in the case of icons have already been hided). |

I've had some different problems from you guys, like needing to click six times or more to show/hide the icons.
I've made a few changes in the above code, now it's working fine to me in Win7. 
| Code: |
~LButton::
If ( A_PriorHotKey = A_ThisHotKey && A_TimeSincePriorHotkey < 400 ) {
WinGetClass, Class, A
If Class in Progman,WorkerW
var := (flag=0) ? "Show" : "Hide"
flag := !flag
Control,%var%,, SysListView321, ahk_class Progman
Control,%var%,, SysListView321, ahk_class WorkerW
}
Return
|
And about the double clicking the icon and everythings get hidden, it's a nice feature for me, maybe you can substitute the double click with a middle button click if you don't want to this happen. |
