Move windows in Windows

[tpor]

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!

I don't think that's possible.

[Herby]

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.

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

[tpor]

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

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>

What!?!?! U gonna do this for me? It should be great!

Man, i must pay u for ur work!

Is it possible to do that?

Or, if u need help with 3D related needs, i will be VERY MUCH HAPPY to help u!

Anyway the CTRL key is Blender related too... :(

The WIN key would be great!

Tell me!

Thanks again in advance for ur help!

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.

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

[Herby]

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. :\

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.

[tpor]

mmh, i looked to ur prob and i really dont know howto help u but i assure i will try with some friends. this seems to be more "software develop" related than what i can even imagine... :blush:

i'll ask and let u know.

anyway i remember i saw a video of that dvd without the logo...mmh a long time ago...

let me try to give u help.

bye

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

I own the Animusic Special Edition DVD but it's nice to see it in real-time (the Demo). :)

@ 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).

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
