Nice ! ;)

Another example, which can be useful, to set transparency ;) :

code:
Transparency=100 // 0=Invisible, 255=Opaque
Hwnd=Interop.Call("User32.dll","FindWindowW","Shell_TrayWnd",0); // Taskbar
// StartMenu : Hwnd=Interop.Call("User32.dll","FindWindowW","DV2ControlHost",0);
Interop.Call("User32.dll","SetWindowLongW",Hwnd,-20,524288);
Interop.Call("User32.dll","SetLayeredWindowAttributes",Hwnd,0,Transparency,2);
// Disable Transparency : Interop.Call("User32.dll","SetWindowLongW",Hwnd,-20,0);

how come mine keeps changing back to start?

RE: script: sBCaption (Start Button Caption) by Spunky on 08-27-2006 at 09:40 AM

I think thats something done by Windows every so often. I have used a program to do this before and the same thing happened

RE: script: sBCaption (Start Button Caption) by Yil2201 on 08-27-2006 at 10:04 AM

Cool :) Really cool update!

RE: script: sBCaption (Start Button Caption) by Eddie on 08-27-2006 at 10:13 AM

Nice nifty little program script :)

then what's the point of this feature?
RE: script: sBCaption (Start Button Caption) by Yil2201 on 08-27-2006 at 03:56 PM

I was thinking about a cool feature... maybe you can add a checkbox to give as caption of the start button the nickname of the current user ... Would be cool :)
So your script has to check the name at each signin using the SignIn evenement.
This is a simple line of code :P
var StartMenuCaption := Messenger.MyName;

See you ;)

How about checking at each name change *-). Also asking your Nickname do you want to change StartButton Caption or not.

Nice Script, but sadly the theme i'm using doesn't have a start button caption [Image: msn_sad.gif].
RE: script: sBCaption (Start Button Caption) by Spunky on 08-28-2006 at 10:34 AM

Setting your nickname as the start button caption could be kind of cool, except I think the start button can not change it's width so the string gets truncated after the first 4-6 characters.

PS - Tried to check this just with my acount and the script is doing anything for me now I've got the new updated version

it can't auto-resize itself no, but it can be sized using MoveWindow and stuff.

Thats cool then if it can work. I always used to think it was an image until I found a program that did it. Makes you wonder why MS put a function in to change it :p

They didn't add a function to change it, they just made it text rather than an image so that it can be changed for different languages.  Its just changed using a standard Windows API function, SetWindowText.

stays there for about 30 secs then goes back to start :sad:

RE: script: sBCaption (Start Button Caption) by Lourix on 08-28-2006 at 01:56 PM

I think this script is great, well done :)

RE: script: sBCaption (Start Button Caption) by benjyrama on 08-28-2006 at 08:45 PM

how about a reset button for each of the categories, ie start button,...
