VistaHide Battery Gauge 1.1.1 - FREEWARE SP/PPC

Smartphone Screenshot:

PPC Screenshot:

So my idea was to have a fullscreen gradient bar that would look "behind" VistaBetaTWO's WA2 Aero skin. And I've done it (and it only weights 12 kb!). - ins0mniaque of XDA-DEV

The registry keys are kept for each resolution, which I will write as "W x H". (e.g. The base key for my device (240 x 240) would be HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\). All of these keys are independant (i.e. If you need to only modify the height of the bar, you only need to create the Height key.)

Options :

[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\X
- Window's left position. Default : 0.

[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Y
- Window's top position. Default : 0.

[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Width
- Window's width. Default : -1.
- Note: Any value below 0 means fullscreen.

[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Height
- Window's height. Default : 4.

[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Thresholds\Critical
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Thresholds\Low
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Thresholds\High
- Value between 0 and 100 which represents the gradient thresholds.
- Default : (Critical) 0.05, (Low) 0.25, (High) 1.00.

[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Colors\Background\Light
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Colors\Background\Normal
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Colors\Background\Dark
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Colors\Critical\Light
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Colors\Critical\Normal
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Colors\Critical\Dark
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Colors\Low\Light
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Colors\Low\Normal
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Colors\Low\Dark
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Colors\High\Light
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Colors\High\Normal
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Colors\High\Dark
- Colors! If you look closely at the screenshot, you will see that the bar is "beleveled". The light color is the top part, and dark one the bottom, everything in between is normal. Want to disable "beleveling" ? Set the light, normal and dark to the same color.
- Default values ( Light, Normal, Dark ) :
Background : RGB ( 64, 64, 64 ), RGB ( 32, 32, 32 ), RGB ( 0, 0, 0 )
Critical : RGB ( 255, 127, 127 ), RGB ( 255, 0, 0 ), RGB ( 127, 0, 0 )
Low : RGB ( 255, 255, 127 ), RGB ( 255, 255, 0 ), RGB ( 127, 127, 0 )
High : RGB ( 127, 255, 127 ), RGB ( 0, 255, 0 ), RGB ( 0, 127, 0 )

[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Excluded Regions\{Anything}\X
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Excluded Regions\{Anything}\Y
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Excluded Regions\{Anything}\Width
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Excluded Regions\{Anything}\Height
- Now for the fun part... This is how you can remove "parts" of the bar. For every key in "Excluded Regions", it will read a rectangle, and exclude it from the window.
- Default value : No excluded regions.

Example (I think it's necessary ) :

Here are the keys needed to achieve the look in the screenshot (at 240 x 240). It uses all the default values, except for 4 excluded regions (one per line).

HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 1\X : (DWORD) 13
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 1\Y : (DWORD) 0
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 1\Width : (DWORD) 11
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 1\Height : (DWORD) 1
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 2\X : (DWORD) 11
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 2\Y : (DWORD) 1
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 2\Width : (DWORD) 15
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 2\Height : (DWORD) 1
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 3\X : (DWORD) 10
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 3\Y : (DWORD) 2
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 3\Width : (DWORD) 17
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 3\Height : (DWORD) 1
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 4\X : (DWORD) 9
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 4\Y : (DWORD) 3
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 4\Width : (DWORD) 19
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 4\Height : (DWORD) 1

EDIT: Forgot one neat feature... If you launch it while it is already running, it will close the running instance.

Update:
- Default height is now 3 pixels instead of 4. I just find it nicer that way
- Added missing code needed to handle correctly screen rotation, and it is now working in version 1.1.1.
- Implemented code to make it work with the Smartphone edition. It is partly working.
