Behind Titlebars - Show / Hide all script created titlebars

[DaledeSilva]

Do you feel like your perfect layout is stuck behind titlebars?
Show and hide them all easily.

MediaMonkey 3 allows scripters to write great scripts which create panels that can be repositioned in the MediaMonkey window or even docked in it. However, while some of us take care in positioning them for the most efficiency or aesthetics, one they're in position, we most often don't need to see the titlebars of those panels anymore.
Sometimes scripters haven't programmed in a way to hide the titlebars in their scripts.

Behind Titlebars creates a submenu in the "view" dropdown which lets you show / hide titlebars from various other scripts installed.

- Behind Titlebars hides all titlebars immediately upon MediaMonkey starting.
- To show / hide titlebars quickly and easily, use the shortcut "ctrl + ~" or "ctrl + `" (The key next the "1" key at he top left of your keyboard.

You'll find the script on this page:

- Please note that Behind Titlebars will only run with MediaMonkey 3.1.0.1209 or higher.

The reason I have started this script version at v0.9 and not v1.0 is because it's missing a small feature that I would like to implement.

The script reads what panels have been created from the windows registry - but more than script created panels are listed there.. so they also show up in the view menu.
This does not affect use the shortcut to hide / show all panels at once though.


currently, I have these appearing in my own view menu

Code: Select all

MiniLyricsEmbedder_Panel
DockablePanel1
moodbar_Panel
PrettyPicturesPanel
MonkeyFlowPanel
np_Panel

I'm assuming that
DockablePanel1 and np_Panel are MM3 internal panels and I should tell my script to ignore them.
for this to be true.. everyone should have them their no matter what scripts you've installed - does anyone not?

thanks,
Dale.

This script is fantastic!!!

Thanks so much for this, its been one of my biggest gripes with MM.

Btw, I have np_Panel but not DockablePanel1 in my menu.

Genius,thanks for that,
in my menu looks like np_panel stands for for MonkeyRok,
also got no DockablePanel1 entry

Of course all I get is a box that is in the way , and this is with scripts enabled and disabled. Sorry I had to use MS Paint for the photo, Photoshop is in the middle of doing something.

- Please note that View Mode will only run with MediaMonkey 3 or higher. (there may be a minor version needed also, but I'm not sure what it is)

Does not seem to work with 3.0.6.1190.

[nohitter151]

The script will only work with 3.1.0.1209 and up.

The script will only work with 3.1.0.1209 and up.

Any guesses on my error, I am on 1221...

@Dale,
To present a warning to users who try to install the script on an MM 3.0, you can do something like this:

Code: Select all

Sub Install()
  If SDB.VersionString < "3.1.0" Then
     SDB.MessageBox "View Mode is only compatible with MediaMonkey 3.1.0.1221 and later."& VbNewLine &_
                    "Please Update your version of MediaMonkey. You might need to download from the Beta Forum to get the required version."& VbNewLine &_
                    "The script will not be installed.", mtWarning, Array(mbOk)
     Exit sub
  End If
  'Install code
End Sub

You can also use versionbuild, but read here first:

Thanks alot Bex,
I have implemented a combination of those errors.

I have uploaded the new installation files and upgraded the version number to v0.9.1


though, my brother is running 3.0.6.1190
and he said he didn't get my tailored error message, but instead it just said "invalid product installation package"
any idea why?

Dale.

[Bex]

Perhaps this solves it?

[DaledeSilva]

nah.. that wasn't the case actually. not sure

[Bex]

I really don't know, perhaps the package got corrupt when he downloaded it?

[DaledeSilva]

thanks for giving it some thought, Bex, don't worry about it though.. it's no big deal.
hopefully everyone likes the script.

let me know if there's anything I should fix / change.
Dale.
