2. The moving controls

This is a new function... When you activated the buttonpulser, you can move buttons when you hold down shift and move your mouse over a button you will understand it. After you moved a button VAnim generates a ini-file with the program-name in the VAnim\movedControls. You can manipulate directly the ini-files or delete them to reset the positions. The buttons will be identified by its caption when you moved a button and on next application-start the buttoncaption changed, it wont be found.

3. Bugreports

Please report bugs to [email protected] with writing "Bug" in the headline. Describe it as good as you can maybe it would be good to attach your configs and a screenshot.

AND please be aware of the fact that this program is ALPHA! This program uses Window-Blinds style-technics, so i dont know if it runs together. Even some programs could crash when u exit VAnim.exe, look at point 4 to see why.

4. Start without trayicon

You can start vanim without trayicon how it works:

to start run : vanim /start

after that:

to config run: vanim /config to stop run : vanim /stop

I cant be made responsible if this program kills your system or whatever. Also it was written as a hobby on a weekend, so dont expect professional support. Or even something that is compareable with it, hehe.
