tpor Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Is it possible to move windows in Windows the same way Linux does? I mean not using only the titlebar but the whole window area pressing ALT+left mouse button click? Does some kind of free proggie doing this exist? Thanks!

HelgenX Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I don't think that's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herby Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 It's possible,.. here's a KDE-style window move/resize/drag script (AutoHotkey script). I've converted it to a exe (attachment). Alt + Left Button : Drag to move a window. Alt + Right Button : Drag to resize a window. Double-Alt + Left Button : Minimize a window. Double-Alt + Right Button : Maximize/Restore a window. Double-Alt + Middle Button : Close a window. KDE_style.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamushroom Veteran Posted January 13, 2006 Veteran Share Posted January 13, 2006 When I try this with WindowBlinds, and move the window with alt + left button and press the titlebar, it only moves the titlebar. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpor Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 I will now hardly (im not a developer) try to use Autokey to modify functions with the WIN key instead of ALT because ALT+mouse is needed by Blender, a 3D proggie i use all the day. At least if Herby is not giving us the original script to be modified... :blush: Thanks a lot...in advance...for ur...may be...gift... :D Bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoops!:pinch:h: LOL!@ tpor:b> Glad I could help!:):) You can find the original script @ the link in my previous post. Here's a modified file, I've replaced the Alt with the Ctrl key instead of the WIN key (doubleWIN -> StartMenu pops up). I've included the script in the attached zip, I can also create one without tray icon if you want.Ctrl + Left Button : Drag to move a window. Ctrl + Right Button : Drag to resize a window. Double-Ctrl + Left Button : Minimize a window. Double-Ctrl + Right Button : Maximize/Restore a window. Double-Ctrl + Middle Button : Close a window. b> KDE_style.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herby Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 (edited) Look,.. I can deassamble Windows... :rofl: ? ?@ Tpor:b> You're welkome!:):) Maybe there's something you (or someone you know) can help me with: I really like Animusic (www.animusic.com) and I love the Pipedream Demo. The only thing that I don't like about the demo is that I can't remove the Ati logo (not that I don't like Ati). I posted it here, but I've got no usefull replies. :\ Edited January 13, 2006 by Herby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erp Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 If you want to move a window without using the mouse, press ALT+Spacebar, then in the dialog box that appears, use the down button to select move. You can move and resize windows easily this way, but I don't know why anyone would bother since the mouse is a lot quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win + Right Button : Drag to resize a window. Win + Middle Button (wheel) : Close a window. Win + Scroll Up : Maximize/Restore a window. Win + Scroll Down : Minimize a window.

jimbo11883 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Herby, for the pipe demo thing, why not just delete the logo tga's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herby Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Herby, for the pipe demo thing, why not just delete the logo tga's? That does'nt work,.. it's coded in the Globals.ati file (Post #7). You can disable Logo2.tga by adding logo2 = F to Sushi.ini. I don't know how to edit the Globals.ati file (I've tried it with a hexeditor).

I don't know how to edit the Globals.ati file (I've tried it with a hexeditor). mmh, what about Reshaker? May be it is possible to modify bitmap resources inside the Globals.ati replacing them with images totally transparent... i will try, but i need another PC cause mine dont want to play the demo... :( ill let u know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
