PushPost updates (1.3)

by Patrick on May 10, 2015 at 18:11

I've made quite a few changes and additions to PushPost since the original post about it. First and foremost I finally implemented the ability to add and manage posts to the photography section of the site. Image thumbnails (either from a local source or from the web) are properly generated, with some bug fixes in the ImgProcessor to go along with it. Photo and image handling is now much more robust, properly accounting for items that went missing since the last site-generation.

Overlays

I usually have 3-4 different AutoHotkey scripts running at any given time. This leaves a mess of identical icons in the system tray, making it annoying to start and stop specific scripts.

Which is where this script comes in. One script to rule them all. I can now hide all other scripts' tray icons (using the #NoTrayIcon command) and launch them through AhkManager.

Desktop Veneer

After using some annoying trial software that overlayed some text onto the desktop, I thought it would be interesting to make a fake desktop that would float below all windows (and the taskbar) but remain in front of the wallpaper. I wanted this to run with no input from the user, and work alongside anything that changed the desktop background. After a bit of mucking around with some Windows API goodness, I ended up with this:
