MicroOS

I don't think I'm the best. I already have a saved version of your script on my computer, of which there were transparent icons, but couldn't figure it out. But thanks.

I looked at the button code, I found the Bitor() stuff, but that didn't work in my script.

I'm 99% sure there's some topic about using transparent GIFs/PNGs in picture controls. You can just use them like this:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
$pic = GUICtrlCreatePic("blah.gif", 0, 0, 100, 100);
While 1;
            $nMsg = GUIGetMsg();
            Switch $nMsg;
                   Case $pic;
                        ; do something...
            EndSwitch;
WEnd;

There is a topic about it, but I couldn't figure out a way to implement it. And the pictures I'm using are Icons, which don't work. I'll look in the help file.

Edit: YAY! My 1000th post!

Edit: I found GuiCtrlCreateIcon, let me see how it looks.

Edit: The icons I were using don't have transparent backgrounds.

Edit: I made the icon buttons as small as possible, they look better, I'll test them on the resolutions to see how they work.

Edit: After tweaking them abit, they look fine, I'll upload the new executable in a couple of minutes.

Edit: Ok, updated the exe. One new feature is that if no background is selected, it will randomly pick from two backgrounds on start up. Also, can someone configure MicroOS and see if it gives you an error after restart? Thanks.

@Ashley & @JustinReno both of you need to grow up! Why do you waste your time telling each other you're not the best, none of us know everything thats what the community here is for... So stop trying to act like the best person on the forum and try to help each other... If you dont like one another stay off each others posts!

Exactly. If your going to fight, please do it elsewhere.

I'm not the best, As I said. MicroOS probably won't be updated for awhile, Autoit keeps giving me an error on startup.

How does this MicroOS handle internet cache? Does this truly write nothing to your hard drive?

I am not saying im the best on the fourm, because i know that im probaly one of the worst.

Look if offended you im sorry, but im not saying anything becuase im a judge in the shell comp, and if i help him i wont be able to give him marks for it because it my work.

Well so far its nice... but a better look would be nice... try using a skin like the VistaShell has, but if you can make ur own skin that is 100% orignal, that would give u a lot of marks from me in the graphical side of things.

If this helps i have windows server 2003 running in 1280x768 pxl's I'll try out your script sometime tonight, (providing that I have time!).

I've updated to Beta 4, if it gives you an error after configuring it(After it restarts) please tell! I'm having troubles with that, and I'm not sure if its a true bug.

Thanks Dbak.

It uses Internet Explorer, so it writes in your temporary internet files/cookies folder.

There's no error for me. However, three more suggestions:

• If Start Menu is clicked when it is already open, it should close.
• Clicking Help opens the web browser... what's up with that?
• PET PEEVE ALERT: If you click "Change Password" in the Control Panel, part of the prompt uses you're when it should be your.

Ok, thanks for the feedback.

For the first bullet, it would be unfair to people with sensitive touchpads.

For the second, if you have linux, AutoIt probably won't find the TempDir where the internet browser is supposed to find the help file.

For the third, Ok, I'll fix it.

Aww.

Great job Justin, it's definitely improved from the start. I still think you should be using pictures as icons, though; the buttons really scream "UGLY!!"
