Crop a window to the interesting section

Open RangeyRover opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Most useful for me when using a streamdeck in VR so I can see the buttons on the streamdeck. I think OpenKneeboard used to do this, but maybe I cant find the option. I'd like to crop image to this image

Openkneeboard has never had this capability - it would be a new feature.

Most likely to be added if someone contributes it - happy to help people who are familiar with modern C++ :)

Beyond my competence Fred, it must have been that the window itself was resizable, and now no longer is. Edit: Actually I switched to OpenKneeboard from OVR Toolkit where it was an option. My apologies.

Ok, this can be achieved using MS Power toys and then displaying the cropped window. As there is a workaround, maybe this one can close?

Keeping this open as it's often requested.

For more context, I think the workaround you're suggesting is https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/powertoys/crop-and-lock

Upvote! It works in combination with the PowerToys crop, but it would still be great to implement something like this natively in the app for ease of use.

I won't be doing this; the future of OpenKneeboard needs to be more focused on its intended purpose, which is not a general 'bring 2D stuff into VR' tool.
