EVE Technology Lab

It's just a window switcher, you can not cut the overview to only see what you want.

As a work-around, we can use the settings file to place the thumbnail off-screen.

For example, say we have a 1920x1080 pixel monitor and want "hide" thumbnails during character select and for a certain character. Just open "EVE-O Preview.json" with a text editor and add/edit the following lines:

"FlatLayout": {
    "EVE": "1921, 1081",
    "EVE - Character Name": "1921, 1081"
}

Now those thumbnails are just one pixel off the bottom right corner of the screen, never to be seen again! This is useful for avoiding that thumbnail spam stack when launching many clients at once, or to always hide every thumbnail if you only want automatic client positioning*.

Interestingly, the generic "EVE" thumbnail shown at character select can't be placed off the left side of the screen even though character specific thumbnails can. To keep it consistent and easy, I just place them all off the bottom right.



*As a bonus, here's what client positioning and sizing looks like in the config file. Maybe I misunderstand the program, but I can't get EVE-O Preview to generate this even with "track client locations" checked, so hopefully this helps someone else.

"ClientLayout": {
    "EVE": {
        "X": 448,
        "Y": 156,
        "Width": 1024,
        "Height": 768
    },
    "EVE - Character Name": {
        "X": 0,
        "Y": 0,
        "Width": 1024,
        "Height": 768
    }
}

Assuming a 1920x1080 monitor and 1024x768 clients, this will place the logged in character at the top left while centering clients still on character select. When editing for your own use, make sure you update the Width and Height to match your client's resolution!

Hello,

sadly i have some trouble with eveo in the last days, i can not identify the problem or where it comes from, but let me describe, i use eveo long years, its an awesome tool und must have, i changed from v2.1 to v2.2 and now the json is forgetting all the time the settings, when i open and run my clients and start eveo then the program forces all client window sizes to a smaller window.

Im using window mode because i like to use the taskbar and this is not possible in fullscreen.

Any ideas?

Also the Thumbnail size i use (192:108) is not working, its always a different size.

Regards

Hello.

Could you
a) Take the very latst build from https://github.com/Phrynohyas/eve-o-preview/releases . The issue you have reminds me of a bug I've fixed in that build
If that doesn't hel then please send me your config file via eve mail (pls don't forget to scramble the character names in that file)

Thanks in advance

Could you take a creenshot of the area with preview window when it has correct size and after the restart, when it is crippled? (not the whole scrreen, jsut cute tha area around the preview window). I'll check what's wrong when I'll be at my dev workstation (ie next weekend)

Hi guys,

Really love the concept of this. Can't seem to get it to work. I have encountered problem which i will link below. I don't know what i'm doing wrong any help would be great!

I set my client to fixed window mode, and as you can see i can't switch toons. Once i started eve preview up it resized the windows and showed part of my desktop.

How do i do that?

Great program many thanks!

Is there any way to setup a hotkey to move the current active window to another monitor?

I.e. Say I have two monitors, and some arbitrary designation for 5 different eve windows on where they should be (initially) located, either on Monitor 1 or Monitor 2. If eve window #4 was set to be on monitor 2, is there anyway to easily (while running the game) bring it to the foreground and switch which monitor is shows on?

Does that make sense?

Awesome, thanks! Didn't even realize it was something that could be done in windows!
