Hello, I previouly had this gadget showing 12 button, I can’t seem to make it do that in Window 7. Am I missing something?

RpD, thanks for the information, we’ll see what we can do with integrating it into System Control in the future. We’ll have to see if the combo gadget will happen, Quick Launch still needs a lot of work.

Re: command for toggling screensaver.

I googled for “command line to toggle screensaver”, clicked the resulting shortcut for “http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/create-shortcut-icon-to-disable-enable-the-screensaver/” …and, in -comments- section, came across someone’s vbs text snippet for toggling the ScreenSaveActive key (between 0 and 1) in registry… under HKCU\ControlPanel\Desktop\ScreenSaveActive.
Does that help?

I had to edit the snippet in Notepad to replace all the ’strange’ quotes with dumb text double-quote characters, then saved as a .vbs file, and it works in Win 7 … dragged it onto the face of your Quick Launch tool for now. Maybe combining System Control and Quick Launch into one gadget would be an idea for future?

RpD, if we can find a command that can be executed through the code or a batch file, then we could add something like this in, but it’s very dependent on being able to perform the function using the command line.

A suggestion: In System Control, you do have an icon to -start- the screensaver… but I’d really like an icon to -toggle- disabling the screensaver. (I still like to coddle my CD/DVD burning hard/software.) Hope you can dis/enable screensaver with -one- icon.
Thanks for listening.

Just checking up on this gadget to see how it’s evolved, if any. Bytheway, if you want Keyboard Shortcuts for your Action Timers, you can get my Advanced Control System Gadget. Just look it up. Be sure to get version 1.3.4 and nothing earlier than this. You can shortcut to just about anything, filepaths, files, websites, and/or many many gadget functions.

Cheers

We’ll see what we can do once the QL gets some work done. Shouldn’t be too hard to set up a custom time shortcut, just a matter of bridging the gap between the user input and the execution command (the command requires flags to be separate for some reason). It’s on the list for the next upgrade though.

Heh, just noticed that the gadget that supports adding shortcut links is actually yours, the Quick Launch gadget.

Ergonpandilus, We’ll add something in for this in a future update. The link you posted seems to go to an error page on the gallery, do you have the name of the gadget so we could take a look?

You can totally do modifications to the gadgets for personal use.
