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.

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

When I try this with WindowBlinds, and move the window with alt + left button and press the titlebar, it only moves the titlebar. :p

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>

OK,.. here's a new one:

Win + Left Button : Drag to move a window.

Win + Right Button : Drag to resize a window.

Win + Forward Button : Maximize/Restore a window.

Win + Back Button : Minimize a window.

Win + Middle Button : Close a window.

This version has no tray icon, you can close it with Task Manager.

? ?post-20663-1137171220_thumb.jpg@ 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. :\

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.

Alt-Space won't let you position a titlebar off-screen. Herby's little tool does. (Y)

@ request: this version works with the scrollwheel instead of the back & forward buttons:

Win + Left Button : Drag to move a window.

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.

This version has no tray icon, you can close it with Task Manager.

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 will try, but i need another PC cause mine dont want to play the demo... :(

      By Copernic · Posted

      draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.6 changelog: Uses electron 42.5.0 #2452 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.6.
