@jNizM Thanks for the feedback
OSDTIP_KBLeds() - Code updated

OSDTIP_KBLeds() v0.51 :
Some unknown glitch fixed. GetKeyState() was returning incorrect key state maybe due to being called from timed pseudo thread.
I didn't 'see' the error as I wrote the function with a wireless keyboard which had no LEDs.
Fixed the code now with help of a wired keyboard (which has LEDS).

Hi SKAN,
A question about OSDTIP_Pop().
How to make the OSD centered? Because the standard for progress is centered. so I can't overide this option (without some calcul).....
Maybe a new option to add

Hi ozzii

OSDTIP_Pop() was written specifically for
EjectEx() : Call Eject() from File Explorer.
If we show it centered, it wouldn't look good without a drop shadow, but then AnimateWindow() shouldn't be used
Microsoft says: Avoid animating a window that has a drop shadow because it produces visually distracting, jerky animations.

Maybe a new OSDTIP instead, that appears center screen!
What do you favor:
Drop shadow or animation?
Plain progress BG that acts as a line or a marquee?

Nice. Another idea. Some kind of running banner (scrolling ticker). At the top, bottom (above the taskbar) or in the middle of the screen.
With different types of information. Like this:

Don't have any preferences. What's is easier to you
@jNizM
Yes, a simple like bootstrap notification in the center of the screen.
With type (success, error...), message and timeout like parameters
This can be very handy.

1) Cannot stop it from getting activated
2) Cannot resize it with
WinMove
I will try some other thing before falling back to Progress UI. Please allow me some time.
@jNizM
Nice! Thanks for the suggestion. I will have to use HTM to get such result I suppose.

Okay! Using text color for vertical bar looks so bland.
Is this better?

Looks great so far
But I think the original color codes fit better. Or am I just blind.

Maybe it looks too punchy because of large fonts. I have toned down the default text size.
Where can I find original color codes?
I screen picked the following colors from :
https://www.tutorialrepublic.com/codelab.php?topic=bootstrap&file=common-alert-messages
which is slightly different from color specified in bootstrap CSS :
https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css

Without an Icon,
Info and
Success look too close!
These colors can be over-ridden with parameters.. I'm only struggling to fix the default ones..
@ozzii
I think I will finalize the above color scheme as default. Hope you are ok with it.
