estou com uma dúvida man, eu ja tenho um projeto pronto, se eu usar o plguin nesse projeto ele vai funcionar? ou eu tenho que instalar o pluguin antes de iniciar o projeto?
Opa, ele vai sim! O plugin é só vc arrastar e pronto, já vai estar funcionando. É só lembrar de mudar as configs do plugin no código. Ele está bem documentado e é fácil de mudar. Qualquer outra dúvida, pode me mandar uma msg lá no Discord.
Blz, você é o Flores lá do server do nome?

Wow, what a fun idea! WIll definitely be buying this. One question - would this allow you to render things above the wallpaper but below everything else, eg icons and windows?
Hello, I'm very happy that you're interested in the plugin. From what I understand, you're asking if it's possible to make an object from my game appear behind an icon on the desktop. If that's the case, I believe it wouldn't be possible, as you would need to detect the icons on the user's desktop, and as far as I know, this isn't feasible with GameMaker. You would probably need to implement another plugin or develop it using a different platform
Hey, man, congrats on your project—it's really promising and super easy to read and modify. I’ve got a bunch of development ideas, haha. But I wanted to report something to you. I’m not sure if this is just happening to me or if it’s a bug in the code... When I start it up, I get an error that says
srWindowsFocus. I’m not sure if it’s a code issue or something I did wrong. Could you check it out? (I think the plugin might’ve ended up in a different folder). I’ll be waiting for your reply. See you later <3Wow, I might have missed something by accident sorry about that. Unfortunately, I’m not at home right now, but I’ll work on fixing it as soon as I get back. Again, I’m really sorry about this and thank you so much for your report. Thanks for your support of the project and for your patience.
The update will be released today.
Seems like the DLL is missing data or we might need some setup instructions if there is anything special we need to do other than import to project
Looking forward to the update :)
EDIT: I had to drag the .dll file into the IDE from the imported package in order to get it to store it as an "Included file" this seemed to have fix it
Hey, I managed to fix the bug in time, and everything is working correctly now! ❤️ Once again, I'm sorry and thank you for your patience.
Yesss!! I just downloaded it, and everything worked perfectly! Hahaha I'm really happy about this. I can finally start putting my ideas into practice. Thank you so much for the update ShyDev!
