titlebar candy with autohotkey!

Three scripts I wrote with AutoHotkey..

titlebarclock
Displays the system date and time in the titlebar, along with remote control buttons for Winamp. Also has customisable right-click launcher menu. 8)

pixelget
Displays the current mouse coords and pixel color in the titlebar. Middle mouse button copies RGB hex value to clipboard ready to paste anywhere you like. :)

uptime
Displays the uptime as days to one decimal place in the titlebar.

Took a look at pixelget (and that finally made me look at AutoHotKey...), very, very nice - think I'll integrate that, along with Switch. Thanks!

autohotkey seems really interesting, took a look at some other scripts as well. Can do wonders :)

Serentiy, could you link me up with the basics of using autohotkey?

plastic, spyder - thanks! :)

spyder, you can run as many scripts as you like. :) You might find after a while you'll want to merge a collection of scripts as one file to save on space in the systray.

You can also compile a script to an executable which can run on systems without AutoHotkey installed. Since AutoHotkey is very flexible I chose not to link to compiled versions of the above scripts. It would mean adding lots of OS/screen resolution checking bloat when the user can modify the script to their tastes.
