Clipboard skin?

[eclectic-tech]

Love what you have done!

The lua script seems to "choke" on any clip containing quotes or a variable; #Anything#...
it will put the clip in every spot... hopefully one of those lua gurus can help!

I added variables to allow the user to set the font height and number of lines in the clip (meters will adjust height based on these variables),
OR you can un-comment the tooltiptext options I added to each meter (remove ';' to use),
added an alternate style for other background modes,
and re-aligned the clips to left edge (personal preference).

This is a handy tool even with a few "querks" ... thanks again for putting this together!

Here is your modified code with my changes:

You can use santa_ryan addon that opens the system tray upon clicking. Then it would be two clicks away.

I do use some addon that opens the system tray, but it has a second or so delay, which is quite annoying. but thanks for the tip. Im looking for some kind of skin that lays on the screen all the time so I dont even have to click a few times to get to it.

@eclectic-tech.. looking at your code now to see your changes. glad theres another interested!

Well, I like it is more expanded. But it takes up alot more room. Im not sure which way to sway. less desk space and more text space or the other way around? maybe expand the height to fill the content every time it changes with a max of say 5 lines? im not sure. any other thoughts?

[eclectic-tech]

The best way would be to determine the clip length in Lua and set the meter height accordingly.
I have seen some posts from KreAch3R that did that, but my scripting skills are very rusty! ...


After I posted the code, I did add a mouse action to the title meter to toggle the content meters visibility...
this makes it a bit less of a desktop HOG!


Right now, it seems like it will have to be personal preference as far as how much it shows...

Thats fair enough. Can always work out the looks after we have everything working 100%. as for the .Lua, I am VERY new to it also. Wont be much help there, But Ive been trying to do my homework. I have NO autoit coding experience either. Looks like I need to spend more time on the computer

I will try to implement all your suggestions once I find the time, due to my exams. I will post it here.

Thanks KreAch3r! That will give us some time to practice OUR lua scripting ...

Good luck on your exams!!

Thanks,

and I strongly encourage you to go ahead and try to make something in Lua. It is totally worth it.

FYI - Interested in a clipboard skin?

A new plugin is being developed (created by Brian)

From my first glance, it eliminates the issues with special characters like: [, #, ", etc.
It is designed to work with text only, with the option to show non-text items.
Give it a try!

Thanks Brian!

Sure thing!
