Hello All
I have been using GF since the year 2000, maybe a year or two before that. There used to be an option available in GF where pressing the key 'O' (not zero) the loaded configs always stayed in the top left corner of the screen automatically updating as configs came and went. Personally I would welcome the return of this feature. For those who do not share my request it was a turn on/turn off feature.

are you talking about Verbose Mode??? It isn't (currently) available in Winamp (I assume) because it conflicts with Winamp's use of 'v' ... which is ONE reason I run in stand-alone mode most of the time. If you use some other player and it is NOT available, again, I assume it interfers with some native interpretation of 'v'.
If you always want it on, just edit :
'\Program Files\SoundSpectrum\G-Force\Resources\Common\Startup.txt'
and add:
SetVerboseMode( 1 );
to the end of the file.
You can STILL use '\' to toggle Console Output (... the Output window/frame needs to be selected). You aren't really shutting OFF verbose mode though, but the result is the same. You WILL also get some extra Startup/resizing info, but generally just Config transitions, once things get stable and running.
If you want to get REAL fancy, you could probably choose a (unused) letter of YOUR liking and set up a 'BindEvent()', but >> I << personally never have tried ...
In the following code, the '#' needs to be replaced with YOUR choice of a single quoted 'letter'.
BindEvent( SS_KEY_DOWN_EVENT | '#', "SetVerboseMode( ! VerboseModeEnabled() ); \
if ( VerboseModeEnabled() ) { \
print( \"Verbose mode ON\n\" ); } \
else { \
print( \"Verbose mode OFF\n\" ); \
}"
);
I just ripped this code from 'Boot Start.txt', so look there for any reference. Letter Case is handled by a flag

Hello jerohm
Thank you very much for your prompt reply. I added the code 'SetVerboseMode( 1 ); to the end of the file in '\Program Files\SoundSpectrum\G-Force\Resources\Common\Startup.txt' and I am very pleased to say I now have the feature I missed so much back fully working again. Maybe I will try the 'REAL FANCY' code at a later time.
Once again many thanks for help.

effectively - yes, but actually no... '\' toggles console output, so if verbose mode was the ONLY form of console output, I guess you could say it turns it off. In actuality, if you toggle console output off, the (lowercase)'L' will also NOT display... which might be considered an extension of verbose mode, but not really implemented as such.
My ('Boot Start.txt') example of 'BindEvent()' is what I couldn't get working. I spent no time trying to make it work. I am not sure it is whether the (location) placement, format, or parameters are what caused me grieve. I will look into it when/if curiosity get the best of me.

I guess I dont really know what verbose mode is, I thought it was for displaying info in the GF window.
what does it actually do?
Hello jerohm
To be honest the chances of me solving the problem are zero. I have however made a contribution to GF by way of creating ColorMaps, nine of these are included in the current version of GF and, there are a further 70 available for download under the contributors list, filename btt 0.1.0 zip.
