I actually ran this on my terribly worn down Win7 machine with the noisiest fan known to mankind, but didn't notice any problems.

Therefore, I have now updated the archive to 2.1

Steffen,
I trust you have done an excellent job as always

I will give it a few days before I update the archive though, just in case we should see any regression.

Archive finally updated (to 2.0). Again, good work

I prefer to keep the original behavior of scaling the image. The /s option was removed, instead /c [bg] is now the center option, with optional background color.

You're on a roll! Well done.

I have very limited time now, will try to make a release next week.

Interesting that using hooks is more cpu-consuming than polling, but the way you describe it makes sense.

Found it :D We have to call PostQuitMessage for WM_DESTROY. My original assumption that WMI could be the culprit made me think about alternatives. And indeed I found a much easier way. Instead of passing the console HWND as additional argument it gets now assigned to the user data of the background...

As far as I could tell the new version works as expected. The archive linked in the first post has now been updated to v1.2. I did not make any changes to Steffens new version except updated the resource file, updated the credits in code/help (as this is now very much a joint effort), and recompiled...

Found a bug. New file above...

I don't have much time to look at this at the moment but I like the idea of geting rid of the title polling and seems that it should work well.

I Will make a new release eventually

- a variable with 64000 bytes of stack memory is critical - string "_secondRun_" should be inserted into the original command line because surrounding quotes are already removed if it gets rearranged out of the arguments - a combination of whitespaces is used rather than the word "Kill" and the upd...

Hello, i have a bug that all text and backgrounds of fonts are bright, i saw a program that uses this and its not bright like mine any help ? Umm... use the "color" command to set the foreground and background color of the terminal. This has nothing to do with Cmdwiz. For example (for a default pal...

I have a browser version in JavaScript. https://gamereality.se/blockout/index.php It now also work with swipe on phone. Is it ok? Umm... yes, seems ok to me, except the pieces don't move downwards it seems(?) until you press Space. You seem to know a lot more about Blockout than me, having some kin...

I'm running this script (which also checks for left/right/middle mouse key presses) and don't see an issue here: @echo off for /l %%a in (1,1,500) do call :Get_XY goto :eof :Get_XY cmdwiz getmousecursorpos x set /a x=%errorlevel% cmdwiz getmousecursorpos y set /a y=%errorlevel% cmdwiz getkeystate 1 ...

Any idea why calling this would result in my batch program locking up before the exit /b, sometimes at the first call and sometimes at the second? :Get_XY call cmdwiz getmousecursorpos x set x=%errorlevel% call cmdwiz getmousecursorpos y set y=%errorlevel% exit /b Well, after I wrote that I tried c...

These are nice. Maybe not so much for the gameplay, but because you create an atmosphere with the story+music.

Well, here's a decent enough place to list mine, in order of download popularity (all made around 2015-2016, some were updated later): (open links in separate tab) CmdRunner A 3d action game with music, available in both text and pixel versions. Also possible to play fullscreen (Ctrl-Enter, for all ...

As far as I understand correctly, the original g.bat script rotates over all folders matching a particular pattern. For example, if we have some folders: another/path/to/ mydir one/another/path/to/ my one/more/ my /dir the script invoked as below g.bat my will do CD to the first and second one (hig...
