ScreenMan : Change screens using keyboard key without focus

Post by IFR »

Addon name: ScreenMan
Author: PCJ
Version: Beta1
Compatibility: LCD Smartie 5.3
Download : Here

Description: Now you may change screens even if you don't have focus on LCD Smartie window. This may be useful if you want to change screens while playing a game or when the monitor is off.

Installation:
Copy the file in your root LCD Smartie folder (NOT the plugins folder).

Usage:
F9: Add system tray
F10: Freeze/Unfreeze screen
F11: Previous screen
F12: Next screen

Note: Using ScreenMan will disable the screen transitions as well as auto screen change. In other words, your screen won't jump to the next screen until you do it manually. To fix it, however, I added a similar feature which you can set the interval between screens change. Finally, you will notice that the current screen number on the preview and configuration window of LCD Smartie won't be updated. Though it has no effect on the program's operation.

In development:
-Open lcdsmartie hotkey
-Default start up screen
-Autostart
-Auto hide on start up
-Go to first/last screen
-Manage hotkeys
-Launch winamp and winamp screen


P.S. This is the first beta version made from scratch and you will probably find the program interface very awful but it will be improved later.

Feel free to post bugs, suggestions and feedbacks.

w00t, thats quite nice!

A few 'bugs':

- The freeze screen function doesn't seem to work here (it just goes to the next screen)

- It also goes to screens that are not defined (=empty) (i.e. I don't have a screen 6, but after 5, your program will go to screen 6 in stead of screen 1)

yeah i knew about the second bug before i released it and it should be fixed on the next version or so. About the freeze screen function try to click on the freeze button so that is it turns to "unfreeze". If it doesn't work then there's something wrong.

Looks like Smack made a better plugin so I suggest you to use Hotkey instead.
