A Few Ideas

Been really playing with this utility lately and versus the other commercial utilities of the same "style" this is much more suited to my tastes and eloquent in doing what it does.  I have been using the betas with great success :)  A few ideas for you to gnaw on:

- The option to reside in the task tray as an icon rather than the taskbar.  Clicking on the icon would toggle it being visible and not visible.
- The option of allowing it to roll up to a title bar so that you can see poser underneath.  Something easy that works along with workflow like right-clicking the title bar to toggle rolled-up/unrolled or maybe a little titlebar icon for the function.
- The option of always on top and persistant (if you want) between program sessions.  This along with the rolling feature would allow you to sort-of place it somewhere on your poser workspace (maybe above the room names) and it's always there.

I have already been able to do the rollup/persistant on-top by using deskpins and winroll (both freeware) but it would be cool to have those options program-native.

Attached my Rolled-Up/Down "Cobbling" to Illustrate :)

Thanks, it's always nice to know when someone likes AL :-)

Ok, not much of a problem to add that.

Adding a symbol to the caption bar isn't as easy as one would think.
How about that: an option that when enabled lets AL roll up when it loses focus? So when you click the Poser Window AL will roll up?

Always on top should already be persistant... Does it not work for you?

I'll have to double check on that.  I've been using DeskPins and you can "teach" it to autopin something when it loads.  Nice for Calculator ;)

I like your idea better - roll up when not in focus.  Very cool.  :)

Does that do what you wanted?

Thanks, sounds like it's kind of like what you wanted ;-9

I think it's better to have those working on it who know Poser's code - that and I don't feel like going back to C/C++ ;-)
