Made in C# to solve my multi-client single-monitor situation. It shows miniature windows of all your open eve clients. Clicking these resizeable miniatures switches focus to that client!
Downloads Version 0.1 alpha evefiles
Installation and usage In any order: Fire up your eve clients. Extract and run the exe.
- it handles eve clients being closed and re-opened fine (but you need to position new windows manually)
See examples some different set ups.
Example 1 - Four clients in a "sidebar". Example 2 - Four clients, unique position of previews for each active. (hiding the active window) Example 3 - Two clients
Requirements Aero enabled!
It was built on x64 windows 7, using .NET 3.0. It should work on 32 bit Windows as well. It might work on Vista and Windows 8. (It should)
It does NOT work on XP (no aero!), nor any other OS (linux/mac).
Donations are welcome! |

I'd be delighted to whether it works on 32 bit Windows or not!
Note, you need 7zip to extract the archive |

Sweet, thanks for trying it out!
I'll see what I can do about the header bar... Maybe I can make it optional.
Quote: window positions should be stored well, that is actually non-trivial so I'd rather not go there right now. Once I figure out a good scheme with few corner cases, sure, but haven't yet!
Remembering settings checkboxes is something I have in the pipe for next version, though. |

v 1.2
changelog:
* persistent settings * option to hide the thumbnail frames * clicking thumbnail restores clients from minimized (but not maximized) * if unique layout option used, better handling of initial positioning * icon in setting window * link to this thread in setting window :)
- clicking and entry in the client list in setting window no longer brings that client up |

Thanks for the kind words guys! I'm glad you like it.
Douglas Whyte wrote:Customized border's. I loved the no border update, and immediately redneck'd one using a chat window to allow for this overlay to seem apart of the UI. You mean like skinning them to look live eve UI? I think that's outside my scope of know-how. I'll give it some thought tho.
As for future work/directions:
I want to do some internal housekeeping to solve some issues (that you might or might not have noticed).
I also want to toy around with having just one preview window, where all the clients are automatically tiled inside. (as an option)
Another direction I want to mess around with is having "layout styles", as in clicking a button would arrange all the previews and the clients as well for you. |

Great ideas! Here I thought I was done and free to play eve! :D
It's fairly easy to make a customizable pattern or list to preview to add things like EFT to be included - this is something I had in mind allready. (or your favourite episode as a PIP?)
Mouse over, yeah! that'd be p cool! I'll see what I can do. On the same topic I thought about adding the actual name of the character as text overlay - I found this info lacking when I was playing in border less.
Colors etc, we'll see!

There's a bug in 1.5 that you might have stumbled upon. Unique layout in combination with one account not logged in and a bunch who are -> exception fired (which can be ignored). Will fix. |

EFT worked fine tho.
Also, see if 1.6+ fixes your issues. It should. |

Because if you restore client to a wrong monitor, not the one selected in it's settings, it start to eat CPU at a crazy rate. I.e. in my setup, an EVE client placed on monitor #1 generate 160 FPS, where on it's proper monitor #2, it only go with VSync and never break 60.
interesting. i havent tried dual monitors so i cannot say what windows is doing in this situation and why you get a big drop in performance. it is not something i can control most likely. i'll see what i can do tho. EVE-O preview - multi-client preview / switcher |

Douglas Whyte wrote:Alright it appears I have feed back already :P
The zoom look's good, however, due to placement is un-useable. A suggestion would be to include which corner to anchor the expansion. Right now it by default goes from from top left, ideally for my placement i would need it to do so from the bottom right. I would imagine other's might want it from the top right, or even the bottom left. For the interface you could include 4 box's in the form of a square to choose the corner from which it expands from.
yes something like that id want to do soon. EVE-O preview - multi-client preview / switcher |

Development halted for a bit while I play the game and work on other projects.
Once back into it I want to mess around with multi monitor solutions, better resizing on zoom, and a optional "container" for the previews with automatic tiling inside (so it's easier to move them around as a group). EVE-O preview - multi-client preview / switcher |

Cool, thanks.
I probably won't go that route - I'm fairly sure I'd have to grab the screen contents in some other way - and I don't have multiple accounts nor the time to put into the project for big changes. Also, with ISboxer around which can do similar things not too much point getting into that territory. EVE-O preview - multi-client preview / switcher |

Trekan Kion wrote:Hello,
I installed this on WIndows 7 64bit, two monitors. However, when I open two clients, the thumbnails stay on top of each other and I do not know how to change it. I would like to have a bar on the side with the thumbnails and the main charactor on main screen, with 2nd screen showing the alts, to whatever alt I change the focus. Thanks.
Hey thanks for trying it out.
Just to check; did you a) Log in with any of the clients? My design's perhaps a bit flawed, but each layout is made unique by the title of the thing it's showing -> if you don't log in they'll be named the same (just "EVE") and as such have the same position ... :) b) Do you have the frames around the previews (found in the main window) active? You can use that to re-arrange them and then disable the frames for a more integrated look.
You could achieve something like what you describe, probably closest is if you disable the "unique layout for each Eve client" option, and add the main client to the "blacklist" (check to force hide). EVE-O preview - multi-client preview / switcher |

Maliandra wrote: It would be great if we could manipulate each client through only the preview windows.
There's some other tools around that could do that, I think. I'm sure I could do it, but I'd have to research that. I don't think adds immensively to the intended use case, a bunch of previews next to or on top of a maximized client. But with big sized previews, perhaps keeping the actual clients minimized ... then yeah it's starts to make sense but not going to happen any time soon.
Maliandra wrote: 2) This is freaking EPIC with two monitors! Good job =).
Thanks for your thanks :). There's some work I have to do to test out the 2 monitor use case, and perhaps some "bugs" related to expectations. But I'm very glad you like it how it is. Would you mind sharing a screen dump of your set up that I could use in the first post? EVE-O preview - multi-client preview / switcher |

My windows 8.1 machine had Aero on by default, eventho it's a "tablet" Lenovo Yoga thingy. So your mileage may vary. Great to hear it works tho, but a shame you need a 3rd party thing.
Todo list: * Investigate aero on/off toggle in the preview thing itself (as a button). If it's a massive hack needed I won't do it. * Click-drag using alt as modifier on previews.
Anything else? It needs to be fairly small - so not stuff like partial previews or keystroke propagation ala isboxer. EVE-O preview - multi-client preview / switcher |

Right, it won't work in full screen. I suppose your OS doesn't render the other clients in that case, in which case the previews are blank.

Yo, activity in this thread!
I was unsubbed for a long time.
Makari, I'd appreciate if you would try and reach out to me before "taking over".
That said, I don't have a problem with an active player (and CPP staff for that matter) driving it, but can we please do this within the original repo?
Catch me on the bitbuckets/githubz as ulph.

I think it's fine if you want to officer the project in my abscense, so for all I care keep the new thread. Do try and get rid of all these forks tho, and I just give you full access to the original one.
If HG really is that painful I may look at migrating the thing.
