ShowKeystrokes
==============

ShowKeystrokes is a tool to visualize your pressed keys. It was written to show the viewers of screencasts my keystrokes. The tool was done in AutoHotkey.

Instructions: 
Start the .exe, then type.
To quit, right-click the tray-icon.

The program is aimed at German speakers, so you might want to download the source-file and change the output if you're confused. Sorry for all the foreign language variables (at least you'll learn a new language, sort of).

Command-Line Arguments:
ShowKeystrokes   [window-x]
		 [window-y]
		 [window-height]
		 [window-width]
		 [background-color]
		 [font-color]
		 [font-size]
		 [font-weight]
		 [typeface]
		 [visibility]
		 [time until first row drops down]
		 [time until window is hidden]
		 [speed of transparency]
		 [padding left]
		 [padding top]

Please note, that the order is important. Also note, that transparency is commented out in the compiled exe, because screen-recording software does not support it. Download the sourcecode if you are interested in cool animations.
