i asked the magic mirror for some code:

Code: Select all

#NoEnv
#Persistent
Gui, +ToolWindow ; Makes the window a tool window, so it doesn't appear in the taskbar.
Gui, +Resize ; Allows the window to be resized.
Gui, Color, 000000 ; Sets the window color to black.
Gui, Show, w200 h200, BlackCover ; Creates the window with the title "BlackCover".
Return

GuiClose:  ; When the GUI window is closed
ExitApp  ; Exit the script

result:
a bright large white bar that kill my eyes in dark.

thanks

ps, not bad, the GUI can be stretched V and H, can be made always on top by win10's powertoy.

ps shd remove the ToolWindow so you can select it in taskbar.

You can have no caption/border at all if you don’t need to resize it. You can reposition it by dragging it.

Code: Select all

Gui, -Caption -Border +AlwaysOnTop
Gui, Color, Black
Gui, Show, w200 h200
OnMessage(0x0201, "WM_LBUTTONDOWN")
return

WM_LBUTTONDOWN() {
	PostMessage, 0xA1, 2,,, A
}

Esc::ExitApp

With this version, when the cover window is active, use the arrow keys to resize it:

Code: Select all

Width := 200, Height := 200
Gui, -Caption -Border +AlwaysOnTop +HwndGuiHwnd
Gui, Color, Black
Gui, Show, % "w" Width " h " Height
OnMessage(0x0201, "WM_LBUTTONDOWN")
return

WM_LBUTTONDOWN() {
	PostMessage, 0xA1, 2,,, A
}

Esc::ExitApp

#If WinActive("ahk_id " GuiHwnd)
Up::
	Height -= 20
	Gui, Show, % "w" Width " h " Height
return

Down::
	Height += 20
	Gui, Show, % "w" Width " h " Height
return

Left::
	Width -= 20
	Gui, Show, % "w" Width " h " Height
return

Right::
	Width += 20
	Gui, Show, % "w" Width " h " Height
return

thx, almost worked.

i'll make it so it will have a minimal on the x and y.

currently it could disappear.

thank you.

“Almost worked” is an odd characterization (as was “not very brilliant”). It does work. You just want it to work differently. You can just make it reappear by growing it again, so it actually is a convenient way of hiding it if you’d like, and if you don’t, just don’t make it so small that it disappears.
