Hi everyone, I've created a GUI that hides at the top of the screen, peeks out when mouse is held at top of screen for over ~1 second and can be clicked to slide down to display the GUI contents. Then it can be clicked again to slide away and hide after a timeout (~2.5 seconds). UPDATE 14/03/2015: Script has been completely overhauled and updated. Hope to get some feedback and perhaps improvements. Now also works in both Aero and non-Aero environments. Please make sure you download the two attached PNG files (NOT THEIR THUMBNAILS) to experience the GUI in whole glory (if you have Aero enabled). Feedback appreciated . Please do excuse me if something is not scripted in the best way possible, I am learning new things ever day and improving my autoit skills continuously. #include-once #NoTrayIcon #AutoIt3Wrapper_Outfile=Example.exe #AutoIt3Wrapper_Compression=4 #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseUpx=n #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=n #include <GDIPlus.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <GUIConstants.au3> #include <WinAPIEx.au3> Global $bAero, $hidden = False, $tuck = False, $tucked = False, $untucked = False, $tucking = False, $untucking = False, $timer = 0, $tdiff = 0, _ $LAYERED_GUI = $WS_EX_LAYERED, $hGUI_child, $hGUI_height = 683 Global Const $hDwmApiDll = DllOpen("dwmapi.dll"), $sChkAero = DllStructCreate("int;") DllCall($hDwmApiDll, "int", "DwmIsCompositionEnabled", "ptr", DllStructGetPtr($sChkAero)) $bAero = DllStructGetData($sChkAero, 1) If Not $bAero Then $LAYERED_GUI = 0 $hGUI_height = $hGUI_height -
