Hi
I have developed a global/print screen capture for Entropia a while ago for a personal use.
I have fined tune it and now I want to share to others and hope to make this program free from bugs.
So I would like to ask for testers to help me clean some bugs if any.
globalx32.zip (version 0003) - for 32 bit application, lots of testing done on Windows XP
globalx64.zip (version 0003)- for 64 bit application, Not been tested.
globalx32.zip (version 0004) - Worked well on XP
globalx64.zip (version 0004)- for 64 bit application, some tests have been done with a couple of limitation with Win 7 see tips below.
globalx32_v0004_1.zip - Read change log below

I finally have released a stable release, version 0005.
I recommend that every one upgrades to this release.
I have tested on Windows XP and Windows 7 x64. It worked well and no bugs.
I will unlikely to release any more versions after this but will fix bugs if any.
I will be working on a new screen capture for directx.
This screen capture always will be Free from:
1: send any information out of your PC.
2: getting/collecting/waiting for any information out side your PC.
3: all advertising.
This screen capture always will be for:
1: any one to use.
2: free.
Quickly feature.
1: in any format you want
2: send location/time before screen shots taken (Activate one off manually)
3: send location when you were killed.(Activate one off manually)
4: Easily select other Avatar/Team from a list (for taking your friends global)
Here is a couple of Screen shots of some features; all feature is in a file pesetting.ini
Tip/Solution for Aero Themes:
: Screen capture works when run in Windows mode.
: The Top of the capture Windows frame may have removed a bit if Border Padding isn't set to 0 for some Windows programs.
: To change Border Padding - Personlisation/Window Color and Appearance/Advanced appearance settings/Border Padding (for Win 7)
: To be able to capture Entropia screen in the Full mode, you must disable Aero Theme or by Disable desktop composition
: Right click on Entropia.exe - Properties - Compatibility then select Disable desktop composition
version 0004 - No bugs that will cause any problem; some minor improvement
------------
1: Clean up my codes(remove spaces/comments); reduce file size about 1/3 and reduce RAM usage by more than 2MB(wow).
2: Print Screen sound (printscrvolume=8 as the default in pesetting.ini)
: 0 is to use your windows current wave volume; global sreen capture will overide the volume if it is between 1 - 100)
: I default it as an 8 because I don't want to give some one a heart attack.
3: change back aths=Hall of Fame ALL TIME HIGH! Congratulations. TO aths=Hall of Fame ALL TIME HIGH! Congratulations! in pesetting.ini
: change this to your pesetting.ini if you have version 0003 and if you like to have a file name starts with ath if you are luck enough
: or else it will start with a file name global when you get an ath.
4: Remove Windows border when doing a screen capture
: This fixed Windows transparent border from displaying in the screen capture.
5: Add double click from the tray icon to display the setup_globalx.
6: Add Impermanent Avatar/Team List.
: This allow you to change/use other Avatar/Team temporary from a list.
: To use; double click on the tray icon; edit the list; then select from the list.
: The screen capture will use Your Avatar/Team when it starts again normally or select Use Your Avatar/Team from the setup_global without exiting.
7: fixed version x64 to capture from Print Screen key.
version 0004.1
--------------
1: Add a sleep if "Send Global Time/Location" isn't enable.
: So that your first global doesn't capture too quickly, use "sleepglob=400" in you pesetting.ini to control how fast/slow your first global capturing.
version 0005 - Final stabable release version.
------------
1: Smoother operation/less memory usage/fixed some screen shots for Windows 7 or alike.
2: Tray icon will be frashing for 2 minutes if chat.log file isn't found at startup or delete during the screen capture is running.
: You can disable this feature by changing supressallerror=Y in pesetting.ini
version 0006 - stabable release version.
1: remove impermanentx*.exe. now is part of setup_globalx*.exe
2: globals, globals2 and logs folders have changed to global_1, global_2 and chat_log and moved, under globalx*.exe
: if you use the upgrade version, then this will not affect you.
: if you use the full version (and replace pesetting.ini) then you may have to move your old files to the new folder and deleted the old ones.
3: add option to be able to open your global folder from right click on the tray.
: default it will open global_1 folder, use openglobfiledir=global_1 to change which folder to open
: if you use the upgrade version then openglobfiledir=global_1 will be empty, and the default will be used.
: run setup_globalx* will add this option to your pesetting.ini if it doesn't exist
4: maxglobsize=100 , default is 100, if you use the upgrade version, it is best you change it to 100 in pesetting.ini to improve performance.
: maxglobsize controls how big the chat.log file before globalx* will delete/backup when it starts.
5: fixed print screen windows flames, according to your windows(x32/x64) or Aero Theme (enable/disable)
My goal is not to add more features; but to make it small and fast and bug free.
I welcome your feed back.
cheer;
