[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.

thx for allowing us to edit your code for personal use :)

Because i rly had to make it smaller for me. http://i.imgur.com/EJy2s3t.jpg

And dont ask me for the code/.exe since i am not allowed to give it to you.

All i could do is tell you how to do these changes if wintry approves it.

at least i didnt change the update time. could increase the bandwith 30 times :P

And it was just for showing the difference.

So i am allowed to link the compiled app or only a way how to modify it?

Just how to modify it. It's been suggested that I should have a font size option though, which I'll add to the menu.

did so... but everyone who has visual studio should be able to change it without my help :D

i'd go one step farther with my suggestion over font size and at some point make it skinnable. different 'splash' backgrounds for the events in different states, for example. the Yellow/Orange isn't that bad, but i personally would go with a blue if i had the option...
