sozuke Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Hello guys! I'm a noob, but I have a very specific goal: I want to set up an emulator system in which I NEVER see any windows, dialog boxes or stuff like that. Everything should be full screen and console-like while in use. Some emulators, like RetroArch, are easy like that; they boot directly to full screen, and when they quit they just go back to LauchBox. Others, like WinVICE for C64, give me problems; in WinVICE's case, it starts up in full screen, but when I exit it shrinks to a smaller window for half a second before LaunchBox comes back. I've tried going through RocketLauncher and using fades, but even with an out-fade that stupid, little window pops in to mock me before the fade starts. Does anybody know a way to deal with this? I would be perfectly happy with the screen going black for a few seconds while an emulator starts or closes and whatever happens behind the scenes... could anything like that be done with that AutoHotKey-stuff I keep reading about? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m3TTwUrsT Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 (edited) huhu here is a script found, written for AutoHotKey. Actually it is maximazing every new window..... loop{WinGetActiveTitle, TitleIfNotInString, MyItemList, %Title%{WinMaximize,%Title%EnvSet, MyItemList, %MyItemList% %Title%}sleep 1000} I hope this`ll work. I could not test it before! Just let us now if its working the way you wanted it to be ;-) Edited March 8, 2017 by m3TTwUrsT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sozuke Posted March 9, 2017 Author Share Posted March 9, 2017 (edited) Thanks, m3TTwUrsT:) Unfortunately, the script doesn't help much; it makes the screen flash black periodically (presumably each time the WinVICE window recieves a command to maximize), and when I quit I still see a short flash of a smaller window before WinVICE closes down. I've been doing some research; the AutoHotkey command "Gui" is supposedly able to create a new, all black window, for instance like this: ^k:: Gui, -Border -Caption +AlwaysOnTop Gui, Color, Black Gui, Show, x0 y0 w%A_ScreenWidth% h%A_ScreenHeight%, Example return Seems like I could put the above before a command to close the WinVice window (which would then close behind the black window), and then remove the black window. Problem is, I can't get the Gui-command to work while WinVice is running. When I run the above nothing happens, at least the window that's supposed to show up isn't anywhere to be seen. Edit: I tried running it after first collapsing WinVice from full screen to a smaller window with alt+d, and doing so, the black Gui-window was able to be triggered. When in full screen, though, nothing visible happens, although I've noticed I have to press esc before WinVICE will respond to commands (indicating perhaps that a new but invicible window is hopvering above it and needs to be quit?) Hm, maybe this isn't noob-stuff... maybe I'll go ask on the Autohotkey-forums. Edited March 9, 2017 by sozuke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
