I've been using this system for years, but I've started having more and more problems with regaining focus once the window is restored...</p> <p>Thankfully bobbo33 solved the problem, so I've updated this post with the full, working function. This solves the issue of restoring a window using AutoHotkey when the focus doesn't come with it - Google Chrome and Firefox being the major culprits. </p> <p>Here's my simple function:<br /> <pre><code>ToggleWinMinimize(TheWindowTitle) { SetTitleMatchMode,2 DetectHiddenWindows, Off IfWinActive, %TheWindowTitle% { WinMinimize, %TheWindowTitle% } Else { IfWinExist, %TheWindowTitle% { WinGet, winid, ID, %TheWindowTitle% DllCall(&quot;SwitchToThisWindow&quot;, &quot;UInt&quot;, winid, &quot;UInt&quot;, 1) } } Return }</code></pre> <p>You can use this function like this:</p> <p><code>!x::ToggleWinMinimize(&quot;Mozilla Firefox&quot;)</code></p> <p>This would then assign Alt+X to hide or minimize your Firefox window. Personally I use this to assign hotkeys to Google Chrome Application windows for each of my webapps, like Gmail. </p> http://productivegeek.com/forums/topic/fixing-google-chrome-503071-theme-problems#post-1304 Sat, 30 Jan 2010 08:38:21 +0000 AsianAngel 1304@http://productivegeek.com/forums/ <p>I have heard that other people updating to the newest Dev Channel release (5.0.307.1) have been having problems with non-default themes. I have also experienced the same problem but have here what I hope is a simple quick fix.</p> <p>1.) Reset the theme back to the original default<br /> 2.) Restart Chrome<br /> 3.) And then reinstall your favourite custom theme</p> <p>That should take care of it. This is how I got my non-default themes working perfectly again. ^__^ </p> http://productivegeek.com/forums/topic/show-only-favicon-on-chrome-bookmarks-toolbar#post-1177 Tue, 26 Jan 2010 17:50:38 +0000 akishore 1177@http://productivegeek.com/forums/ <p>Hi, </p> <p>Is there a way to show only icons on the bookmarks toolbar in Google Chrome? I want to do this without having to delete the name of the bookmark. Is there an extension that can do this for me?</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://productivegeek.com/forums/topic/can-you-remove-chrome-extension-buttons#post-766 Fri, 15 Jan 2010 00:39:17 +0000 Vito 766@http://productivegeek.com/forums/ <p>I love Google Chrome but I hate that all the extensions take up space on the toolbar. Is there any way to use extensions and remove them from the toolbar? Even if it's a hack, I'll take it. </p> http://productivegeek.com/forums/topic/bit-better-rtm-extension-for-google-chrome#post-143 Wed, 23 Dec 2009 18:44:36 +0000 CookingCat 143@http://productivegeek.com/forums/ <p>There's a new extension for Google Chrome that makes it way better with Remember the Milk!</p> <p>[attach=d85c8cdbbd826ac7]</p> <p>Small improvements for Remember The Milk interface (original greasemonkey script "A Bit Better RTM" - <a href="http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/32518)" rel="nofollow">http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/32518)</a> </p> <p>- display list tabs to the left<br /> - drag-and-drop list re-ordering<br /> - drag-and-drop move tasks between lists<br /> - display tasks count<br /> - resizable task list<br /> - hide useless lists (available through Settings -&gt; Lists)<br /> - unique URL for lists and tasks<br /> - configurations section is on the Remember the Milk Settings<br /> page, under the A Bit Better RTM tab</p> <p>SHORTCUTS:<br /> - "Shift + j / k" - switch between lists (Shift + o - open selected list)<br /> - "Ctrl + g" - Go to list.
