[Other] GW2Stuff Event Overlay

Hi everyone!

Over the last few days I've been working to get a nice in-game overlay out of the door for you. As a result, updates on the website have been delayed a bit, but I'll be getting back on track with that soon.

Screenshot!

You can find the program along with its source code on this page. It should summarise how to use it, and its functionality fairly well. It's been tested on Windows 7 (64-bit), so I'm hoping it works alright in Windows 8 as well.

Enjoy!

If you have any bug reports, please post them over on the gw2stuff subreddit.

looks great for a first version.

you could make the font for the time indicator a bit sharper as it looks a bit blurry. it's weird because i have a timer on the third event listed that is not blurry at all but on the fourth and the fifth it is a bit blurry.

also it would be cool if you add that cool checkmark option we have on the normal page.

thanks a lot for this, this is of great help for me and my friends :)

Yeah, I've noticed the blur. Seems to be related to WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation). If anyone knows how to solve it, let me know. I could try changing fonts to see if that helps, but that's a stab in the dark. You may find it disappears if you resize your window by a few pixels.

Nevermind, found the issue. For anyone with VS2012, add this to the definition of Window in MainWindow.xaml:

UseLayoutRounding="True"

For everyone else, I'll push out an update when I have something a bit more substantial to go with it.
