Hey folks, its me again...so now, there seems to be a problem with video playback in vlc when used with penumbra...it works fine with other themes...i'm gonna try the move (0,0) item elsewhere thing suggested in other threads, but i just wanted to bring it to your attention that there is this problem.

Cheers,

Yep, the left side "hotspot" is alpha shaded and does cover the (0,0) pixel. I suppose I ought to move it down a pixel, seeing as how MS isn't likely to fix that bug anytime soon. ;) In the meantime, you can edit hotspots.rc in the config folder and change these two settings (was '0' and 'ResolutionY'):

moveLY 1
moveLHeight $ResolutionY-1$

And, with the handy, dandy LS Tweaker, you can easily find that setting! Just click 'Capture Item' and then the label!

Sneak preview: LS Tweaker*

*Disclaimer: Still in development, so some changes are still possible and likely. That's not a skin for the app... it's just my Windowblinds skin.

Wow - that looks very impressive. So *that's* the super secret app you were hinting about, eh? Like WinSpy on steroids for LS?

Yup, that's it. :D At the moment, it reliably picks up xLabel (hooking, child, and groups! Example), xTray and xTaskbar. For those pesky items that it won't pick up, there's an Advanced Search. You can search by setting prefix (like 'command' - Example), setting suffix (like AlwaysOnTop - Example), and Exact or Any match. Values can be changed/added right on the spot, aswell as enable/disabling lines (disabled lines show up as red). Clicking 'Open File' will open the file for the highlighted item. It also loads files automatically... no manual searching for what to load. If a theme is changed, it detects that too and reloads the new files. I think another week of testing/development and it should be ready for some others to try out on their machines.

WinSpy + Agent Ransack + Editor - very cool! Does it organize settings internally, or just do sort of a grep-to-list process? I assume it's going through the themes subfolders as well? For some reason the scrollbars on your PNG's don't work, so I can't see the full path. =P

Ya, it's something like that, heh.

Organize internally? Grep? Huh? ;) What I'm doing is, I check for any 'include' lines in the theme.rc of the active theme, expand the vars, and then do a little string torture (fix ws, comments, trimming, etc) to get a list of the files to scan. So, no unnecessary files are scanned...it's nice and speedy. =)

And the funny thing is, I originally made this for people that aren't really themers, or those who are using other people's themes, and don't want to dig through piles of unfamiliar settings to tweak something. But, I'm finding that when I want to do a quick edit/tweak of my own themes, it's really convenient to use.

Yep, it seems far more convenient than having multiple edit windows (tabbed or otherwise) open at one time for development and tweaking. You only see the lines you need to see. Will there be any feature to add/insert lines in a file, e.g., to add a setting to a label or label group?

There's an 'Add New Setting' button right now. When you click it, a little window pops up with two input boxes. One for the 'setting' and another for the 'value.' It appends to the last file in the returned list.

I'm not sure about expanding on that much, because I originally just wanted this to be a tweaker type thing...but it would be a pretty simple thing to do. Maybe later. ;)

oooOOooo I'm gonna like this! (Just hope thats a VS you've got on it! :P)

Nope, actually it only runs on a Mac.

Haha that actually made me laugh out loud.

It's a WB theme I'm using. My app just uses regular windows gui stuff, so whatever your windows skin/style/theme is, that's what it looks like.
