How do you make custom changes? #53

This seems to be mostly precompiled minus the the ahk file. If you want to add functionality to the dll or update the exe for testing locally, how would you go about doing that? Are you guys not planning posting all of the source code / build instructions?

Hello, @dsutherland1492

I am just a contributor here: @sdias is the creator of the project and he will surely be able to give you a better answer, however, from what I've understood since I've been helping here, this project uses a compiled DLL from Ciantic's VirtualDesktopAccessor and I remember that someone said that it was compiled from Grbacr07's VirtualDesktop code.

So, if you want to have direct control over the DLL file, these two projects probably are what you are looking for.
I hope this can help you.

Best regards

Oh sweet, that makes sense. What about compiling the executable in the release? Are you guys just converting the ahk file to an exe? Or are you doing something fancier then that?

GioBonvi commented 7 years ago

Once again, releases are built by @sdias and not by me, however I believe in an old issue he mentioned "compiling the ahk script to match the last version", so almost certainly the exe file is actually nothing more than the compiled version of the ahk script.

@dsutherland1492 @GioBonvi I confirm everything that @GioBonvi has said, except that Ciantic's VirtualDesktopAccessor uses Grbacr07's VirtualDesktop, that I'm not sure.

@dsutherland1492 the comment I was referencing that I could not find before was one of mzomparelli's on #39.
