Ideas for future releases

[fragfaq]

Hi, I just finished dealing with your tool, and I want to say that you did a wonderful job, in no case do not stop, there is still a lot to add. I apologize in advance for my English, I use Google translator. I looked at the open issues and would like to contribute in the form of suggestions. I would not want to seem arrogant, I adore and actively use similar projects. I am not a programmer, and write only very simple scripts on AHK, so I can provide feedback. Ok, closer to the point.
Here are a couple of things that I immediately noticed:

1. How about to add Gui, +ToolWindow ? Of all the tools that I saw, none take up space on the taskbar, the icons in front of the clock are quite enough :)
2. Just don’t think that I will downgrade your work, but having a unique icon would be great, it’s much better and more convenient, suddenly someone has ten AHK scripts running and all with a standard icon. And although even my knowledge was enough to download a random icon from the Internet and add Menu, Tray, Icon, %A_ScriptDir%\images\icon.ico, 1, still the icon is like a business card ... but this is just my opinion .
3. A more relevant issue is buttons such as: "New Overlay", "Load Overlay" and "Settings". The first thing I thought about: why can't they be hidden if the script removes and adds buttons so well? These buttons will be pressed extremely rarely, after the user sets all the settings. For now, I'm just commenting out these 3 lines in Gui. Not because they are no longer needed, but because they interfere, the window becomes much smaller in width without them (almost 2 times).
4. A little more about the sizes: I would like to be able to change the font. I spend all day at the computer screen, and I would not want to once again parse the name of the regions or maps. Without the three buttons that I wrote about above, Gui, Font, S11 W700 looks quite sympathetic, but ideally it would be possible to customize the font through the settings button.
5. Due to the ability to adjust the transparency of the buttons, I wondered why not do the same for the background? For myself, I have not decided yet how it will be more convenient, with completely transparent, or vice versa, or something in between is possible ... Of course, you can always comment out the line WinSet, TransColor, %CustomColor% %Transparency%, this is also a solution, but not at all like a separate option in Gui.
6. And most importantly, in my opinion. I won’t lie, I spent about six hours trying to display Gui only if Path of Exile is the active window. I could not do this, because my knowledge is simply not enough. Although I spent time and effort on this ... I’m not 100% sure that this is possible, but most likely it’s just my level is very low, at least it usually happens.
7. I almost forgot, request confirmation to delete. When I delete a line, a confirmation message appears. But when I delete a single button in a line, the request does not appear. And I wanted to ask if it was originally conceived, or is there another reason? I understand that a request to delete a line is really more necessary than to delete a single block in a line. But what confuses me is how easy it is to remove a button by clicking on it with the wrong mouse button. I even wondered if it was possible to make a setting for this particular functionality ... But it is too difficult for me, maybe you will also think about it.

Well, for now, this is all I can give you, in addition to my gratitude. I don’t ask to realize everything that I offer, I just throw ideas against the wall and wait, maybe something sticks :) Perhaps some of my thoughts will seem to you interest. I look forward to a new release, good luck. From Russia with respect.

Hey there! I just wanted to thank you so much for this issue. I will get back to working on Mappy over the next couple of days and try to get some of the things you said done. They are great suggestions! And your english was very good, I understood all of it! :)

Love to Russia <3
