A memo that reproduces the slide show (gadget) of Windows 7 on Windows 10.

What I aimed for

In the past, Windows 7 had a feature called a gadget, and one of them was called a slide show. I will make something close to this. The following are the minimum functions you want to meet when creating.

--Randomly project the images in the folder --The image is displayed in the foreground --No window frame --You can freely set the number of seconds and size

Why i decided to make

In the Win7 era, I was looking at the pictures of cats in the slide show when I was feeling down or when I wanted to calm down ... When I became Win10 and the gadget function disappeared, I was a little depressed, but the disappearance did not cause a big problem, and I completely forgot its existence.

One day when I was very upset, "Oh, if there is something that calms me down ..." At that time, I suddenly remembered this gadget. "I want to put a picture of a cat in the foreground !!! I want to be healed !!!" And now it is.

environment

VScode Python3.7

I made

スライドショー00.pngスライドショー01.png

It moved like that ...!

Chord (from the code at the end of the text)

Randomly project the images in the folder

def random_pic():
    # ~~~abridgement~~~
    while True:
        img_list = glob.glob(pict_dir + '\\*')
        pict = random.choice(img_list)
        if pict.lower().endswith(img_types):
            return pict

Of the paths stored in pict_dir (set outside the function in the above code to make it easier to see where it is) Randomly select the one that matches the extension in img_types.

Image is brought to the foreground & no window border

class Slideshow_window:
    def __init__(self):
        # ~~~abridgement~~~
        self.window = sg.Window('', self.layout, finalize=True, no_titlebar=True, location=(self.winsize.width-360, 0), 
                    keep_on_top=True, grab_anywhere=True, element_padding=((0,0),(0,0)), margins=(0,0), alpha_channel=1)

Thank you very much for this site.

Being able to freely set the number of seconds and size

class ConfigDisplay:
    # ~~~abridgement~~~

The setting screen can be displayed in the second class. Various settings can be applied by pressing the Set button. I try to get all the events with if so that I don't get an error when I leave it blank, but I want to be able to write it well because it's not beautiful.

Where you want to improve

  1. Folder name on the setting screen If it is a short path, it will be displayed, but if it is placed deep in the hierarchy, the path will be long and will only be displayed halfway. I want to be able to see at a glance which folder I chose. スライドショー02.pngスライドショー03.png

  2. Processing when a folder without images is selected I haven't processed the error because it's for my own use, but I want to be able to display "No image" when selecting a folder that does not have an image file.

  3. Save the folder settings for displaying images When I select a different folder on the setting screen, I want to select that folder the next time I start it. Is it necessary to save the path in a text file when straddling the start/end of the program? I have no idea.

  4. Window position after resizing Currently, the position of the image display is set to the upper right of the display, but since it depends on the initial image size, if you change the size from the setting ... Slideshow 04.png

It will be like this. I want to be able to take the upper right as the base point regardless of the size.

at the end

I think I have created a function that meets my needs. I would like to continue making improvements in the future. I also want to learn beautiful coding.

Small words

I wonder if this gadget function was in demand at that time ...
