Development Notes | 2020.01.03 — SAO Utils: Beta News

Hi, SAO players, long time no see!
Today (?) I would like to show you some exciting new features in next major version. Please leave comments to tell us your ideas!

New Widget Operations

Now we provide a standard frame for every desktop widget, you can optional "Always show", "Always hide" or "Auto hide" every single widget frame independently.
Some basic widget options, such as "Always on top", "Transparent" options are integrated in the standard widget menu, so there're no extra codes needed for a 3rd-party widget to support such options.
New widget options: "Opacity", "Show on desktop/launcher", "Mouse activation" and more.
Anyone can code QML scripts to create widgets now.

Data Picker

We remake a more friendly data selection and preview dialog. Also URL type data could be previewed as a image.
"Update parameter" and "Invoke parameter" inputs are now featured with preference settings, no more geek codes.
New "GPU Data": You don't have to install 3rd-party applications to read general GPU information now.
New "WMI Data": Query based system information.

Let's introduce the new geek "Script Value" which allows writing JavaScript codes to satisfy some "hard-core" requirements:

Customizing value format.

Combining outputs from multiple values.

Data sharing and persistence.

Converting values to displaying images.

Icon Picker

Icon catalogs are added to the new icon picker dialog, it also allow choosing a EXE file as a common icon.

Image Picker

Image previewing is added to the new image picker dialog.
