Hi, thanks for taking the time to report this problem. Unfortunately, I've never
owned a copy of Vista, to say nothing of Windows 7. (Only OEM XP for quite some
time...).
If a philanthropist would like to help me update my OS, I'd be very happy to
update
UAWKS. :-) Thanks again for the information.
I'm also very open to allowing new contributors to improve on the UAWKS
package, if
any one has the skill/time/motivation to help out. Good to hear from our users!
Keep
it coming!

i find that this happens when comparing the Fn command on my laptop to the
actual
keys on the keyboard it's self. i tried using AHK to manually remap the
function keys
from and to respectively with no luck.
example on my dell insprion 1720 the combo function + arrow up was brighten
increase
but the same combo on the apple only brings help up. FN+f1 intacted has the
apple
brightness increase. where as the same fn+arrows mainly seems to change the
cursors
position when typing.

For me on Win7 x64, volume keys seem to work onscreen (translucent overlay
shows volume
change, and the mute button works) but the actual volume is not at all
affected. Media
buttons also work without issue

hi,
From my experience, I had the same problem, you have to select the I am using
windows vista option. It disable the translucent volume indicator but then the
volume is affected, at least on my computer, this is how I solved the pb.
Hope it helps!

Hi, I have the same problem as jhmoore. It would be great if the volume control
worked. Thank you so much! The mute button does work, which is definitely great.

I tracked this issue down and fixed it. AutoHotkey itself is responsible. They
say on their documentation that SoundSet and SoundGet do not work on Vista and
up (they only set the script's volume, not Master volume). Check here:
http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/SoundSet.htm
UAWKS contains an override for Vista that follows the recommendations of the
AutoHotkey documentation, however there is no work-around for SoundGet. That is
why the overlay doesn't work with the Vista override enabled. Following their
recommendation of switching to WinXP Compatibility mode did not solve the issue
for me (Windows 7 x64 Professional).
I fixed this issue by using Vista Audio Control Functions v2.1, found here:
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic23792.html
I modified UAWKS appropriately, and now I can control the volume AND see a
working overlay! :D I am very happy now :)
I'm not sure if anyone else is interested in the patch? I can cleanup my
changes and attach if someone is interested? Anyway, my thanks to the developer
of this project, UAWKS is great!

Hi, so I am following what billcoder has attempted to show us on this issue.
However I seem to lack his understanding. If billcoder or another whom has got
this running could post their edited version of AWK Library.ahk for Windows 7
x64 that would be most appreciated. Till then I will keep playing with the code.
Thanks in advance,
Zijan08

Sorry about not getting back to this sooner. I've cleaned up the fixes I made
to UAWKS. They correct both issues 20 and 49. I have attached them to this
comment, so hopefully they will be available for download. If not, I will
upload them elsewhere and put a link here.
Attached should be both the modified source (changes I made are marked with ;
billcoder) and a compiled EXE (not UPX compressed).
Windows Vista/7 users who use this modified source or EXE need to enable "I use
Windows Vista" in the UAWKS preferences. Read "WINDOWS_VITSA_7_users.txt"
included in the EXE and Source packages for more information.

Ah so helpful bill! This completes the last of the fixes I needed to make this
keyboard 100% functional in everything I need from it. Thanks again!

Billcoder, because U have use in Vista mode another ahk script, called VA.ahk,
I have discovered that mute does not change translucent image colour into red,
as it was from the very beggining. So, for check mute state, you have use
VA_GetMasterMute() which return true or false.
Later, if (MasterMute = "on") checks the status and changes colour.
So far, VA_GetMasterMute return "1" and to bring back red colour, need to
change to " if (MasterMute = "1") {".
Altered file attached.

Thanks for this. The Windows Vista option should be more visible (like, I'm a
Windows Vista / 7 user, enable this) but I'm okay finding it out this way.
Great job on this, keep it up please :)
Regards from Brazil!
