How Volume Provides Clues & What It's Suggesting

Tonight I thought I’d show an example of how volume can affect price action. The last two days the S&P 500 has risen by over 1.5%. Volume has also risen each of the last two days. Ignoring volume I ran a test to see how the S&P performed after back to back 1.5% rises:

Results were choppy and even the better periods generally underperformed a random 1-2 week period.

Next I looked at what happened if the volume rose both days as it has the last 2:

Generally positive results. Nothing eye-popping but “worse than random” has turned to a positive bias.

What if I look at only those times when the market was up 1.5% for two days in a row and there wasn’t a progressively higher volume pattern?

As you’d expect, things have gone from choppy to choppy with a slight downside bias.

What if instead of rising two days in a row, we look at the same price pattern where volume sank two days in a row?

A gently positive bias with rising volume becomes a violently negative bias on decreasing volume. Of course the number of instances here is quite small. To remedy this I lowered the price requirement from 1.5% to 1%. Results below:

Similar story here. Any way you look at it, the moral is this: Pay attention to volume. It matters.

As a bit of a tease I’ll let everyone know that I’m currently conducting a large research project related to volume. I hope to be able to release results some time in August.

How about an update on the CBI? It hasn't been updated since 7/23/08.

Trader Kevin said...

Also, how about a Subscriber Letter Results For June post? Or perhaps this weekend a June-July results post. Thanks!

Johan Lindén said...

according to stockcharts volume was lower yesterday than the day before.

Rob Hanna said...

Volume was higher according to IBD, Worden Bros., and Quotes Plus.

The CBI has been at 0 since 7/23.

Excellent blog.

If you look at the daily chart of S&P 500 and volume, you would see that volume had been less during up days compared to down days from 2003 to the peak.
Also if volume is so important, then March low should not have been breached.
IMHO, as more people start following something as an indicator, the results get skewed.

bhh said...

I eagerly await the volume studies. For trading breakouts, I've concluded it is the single most important factor for a sustainable entry edge. Thanks for sharing your work.

Rob Hanna said...

Tradestation is showing higher volume as well. Not sure why stockcharts isn't confirming with the others.

Anonymous said...

what volume are you looking at??? i see higher volume for the SPX at also i see that in other websites too. in yahoo, there higher volume for SPX in the NYSE volume.

Jeff said...

Re: volume as an indicator and skewed results...

I think it is possible that some strategies are macro enough, or provide enough variety of signals daily that it would be difficult for the edge to be sucked out of them.

Also, whether your edge is diminished depends trememdously on your timeframe.

Johan Lindén said...

I see the same thing now. So either they have changed it or I looked at the wrong chart.

However, the volume increase is ridiculously small, at least according to the Stockcharts figures. So I still wouldn't use this as an edge in decisions.

A domestic violence order can also protect other people who have been affected by the violence. People who can be named in and protected by an order include:

  • a child of the aggrieved
  • a child who usually lives with the aggrieved (e.g. a child who spends time with the aggrieved on a regular or on-going basis)
  • a relative of the aggrieved
  • an associate of the aggrieved (e.g. their new partner, work colleague or friend) (s 24 DFVP Act).

If a person is included on the order they are called a ‘named person’. The same conditions that apply to protect the aggrieved will also apply to the people who are named on the order.

The court may name a relative or associate of the aggrieved if it is satisfied that naming the person is ‘necessary or desirable’ (see above) to protect that person from domestic violence.

Naming a child on an order

A court can name a child of the aggrieved or a child who usually lives with the aggrieved in a domestic violence order to protect the child from associated domestic violence or being exposed to domestic violence by the respondent (s 53(b) DFVP Act). Unborn children can also be named on the order. The order will take effect when the child is born (s 67 DFVP Act).

The Act states that a child is exposed to domestic violence if a child:

  • sees or hears an assault
  • overhears threats of physical abuse
  • overhears repeated denigration
  • comforts a person who has been abused
  • observes bruises or injuries to another person
  • cleans up property that has been damaged
  • is present when police attend a domestic violence incident.

The court is required to consider naming children in a domestic violence order (s 54 DFVP Act) even if the parties have not requested that the children be named or where the respondent does not agree to the child being named. The court has the power to obtain information from the Department of Communities, Child Safety and Disability Services if the court considers that the department may have information that will assist the court in making a decision about whether to name the child (s 55 DFVP Act).

If a child (of the aggrieved and respondent) is named on the domestic violence order, the conditions on the order can be tailored to allow for the respondent to see the child pursuant to a family law order, or by written agreement between the parties.

The Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) (Family Law Act) now also recognises that a child is exposed to family violence in these circumstances.

When the Indy Autonomous Challenge takes off later this year, all the race cars will look the same — and no one will be behind the wheel.

The IAC is a university-led self-driving car race taking place Oct. 23 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with $1.3 million in prizes on offer. The first three teams to cross the finish line in 25 minutes or less after 20 laps (that’s about 50 miles) will win what’s believed to be the first head-to-head autonomous race.

To make sure the race is about building out the software for autonomous driving at high speeds (the average speed will be about 120mph), each team has the exact same modified Dallara AV-21, a typical race car usually with a human driver. Clemson University students helped develop the base car for the race.

Earlier this month, the IAC showed off more details about the cars equipped with radar, cameras, ultrasonic, and infrared sensors along with three light-detecting sensors, called LiDAR, from autonomous sensor maker Luminar. LiDAR helps cars “see” by emitting light onto objects as far as 800 feet around the car.

Look at that hardware.

Look at that hardware.

The sensors in the car are the same that Luminar, a Florida-based company, is going to put in future Volvo SUVs. Race organizers want the cars able to handle the extreme racing environment, but also be applicable to future self-driving car scenarios on city roads and highways.

Luminar’s senior director of product strategy, Dr. Matthew Weed, who studies optics and lasers, said the race is less about the hardware and more about the challenge of making decisions while moving at breakneck speeds. It’s an opportunity to make autonomous highway driving safer, too.

What the students learn on the course will “trickle down from the racing environment to commercial vehicles,” he said in a recent call.

When driving really fast, the car’s sensors and computer system has to anticipate what will happen next. It doesn’t happen right in front of the car, as with many of the test autonomous vehicles from companies like Cruise and Waymo that travel at modest freeway speeds at most.

“You’re going to have a fair shot at 65mph when something unexpected happens,” said Matt Peak, the director of mobility at Energy Systems Network, which is one of the main organizers behind the Indy Autonomous Challenge. That’s not the case at 180mph in autonomous mode.

The race is based on the 2004 DARPA Grand Challenge for autonomous vehicle development, but this time with university teams. The U.S. Department of Defense led the original challenge that brought competitors from major automakers.

For the IAC, more than 40 schools with 550 students from around the world entered the competition. As of late July, it’s down to 19 universities across 10 final teams comprised of more than 200 students.

Students from as far as Poland, Germany, Italy, and Korea are taking on teams from U.S. universities like Rochester Institute of Technology, Colorado State, Western Michigan, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Pittsburgh, University of Alabama, University of Virginia, West Point, Auburn, and University of Hawai’i. Some schools are joining forces with others, like Indiana University with the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur and Colombia’s Universidad de San Buenaventura.

“It’s a good opportunity for our tech to be in the hands of the next generation,” Luminar’s Dr. Weed said.

To make it to the final race, the university teams have been working on programming the cars since before the pandemic. All without stepping onto the race track.

Starting next month the final teams will finally get to interact with the race vehicle in preparation for a qualifying race on Oct. 21 and 22. Earlier this year the teams competed in a simulated race completely virtually.

Now an IRL race day is fast approaching. In October finalists will put the pedal to the metal with their programming skills for the robo-race.

7+ Taskbar Tweaker for Windows 10 May 2019 Update

Another upcoming Windows 10 update, another post. According to Wikipedia, the May 2019 Update is expected to be released at the end of May. As any previous major update, it requires to do adjustments to 7+ Taskbar Tweaker.

I’ve just released the first beta version of the tweaker which adds experimental support for the Windows 10 May 2019 Update. It also adds some features to Windows 10 which were requested multiple times by users. Please let me know if you encounter any issues with the beta version.

Several users also asked me about support for the insider builds of Windows 10 Codename 20H1. I plan to add minimal support for it (see here for details about the meaning of “minimal support”), but probably not before releasing the stable version for the May 2019 Update.

Update (May 6): Turns out the new beta version works for Windows 10 Codename 20H1, too. Tested on build 18890.

Posted in Software, Updates by RaMMicHaeL at May 4th, 2019.

    “Update (October 12)”: October 12? Is that a typo? 😀

  2. anon says:

    Do you plan to update 7+ Taskbar Numberer as well?

    • RaMMicHaeL says:

      Yes, I do. I’ll try to update it in a couple of days.

    • RaMMicHaeL says:

      Done! I’ve just uploaded version 9.6. Hopefully no more adjustments will be required when the final Windows 10 May 2019 Update is released.

      • Martin says:

        Does that mean the virtual desktop order fix is also functional now?

        • RaMMicHaeL says:

          The virtual_desktop_order_fix advanced option works for the latest Windows 10 May 2019 Update build. I’m not sure about Windows 10 Codename 20H1, but in any case I don’t strive for a complete compatibility for 20H1 in such an early stage. See the link near the mentioned “minimal support” in the post for details.

  3. Hj. Mathes says:

    I have Windows 10 version 1903 installed. Taskbar Twieker works with your beta version. Donated today, where can I get request code for experimental support of Windows 10 version 1903. If possible send to my e-mail address.
    Hj. Mathes

  4. James says:

    Hi, I have an access code for alpha versions, can I use it with the latest beta version: v5.6.2.3?

  5. Anoir Ben Tanfous says:

    I would like to suggest a feature that would make your app even better… When there is a window set fullscreen or top-most on windows and maximized… most of the time the taskbar when set to autohide (to save some space on screen and reduce visual clutter)… the Taskbar refuse to show and this is an issue that dates back to Windows 95 and MS didn’t manage to solve it since then…

    My suggestion is to add the WinApi function that set the taskbar to topmost and trigger the unhide if Windows doesn’t do it (also hide would be great to force it when the taskbar is stuck) and make the Stay or Wheel trigger one state or another…

    There is a software called Taskbar Activate and it’s the only one that I’ve found that solve this properly but it’s very outdated and his author is dead long time ago unfortunately… I managed to make it work even better and hide the line on the bottom but I just wish if I was a programmer so I will reverse engineer it and make a more modern version… (many photoshop users suffer from this issue since the taskbar when refuse to autohide it block the view of the tray which contains some useful information and it’s frustrating to have to change the taskbar to be always visible because of this and lose some screen space that is needed for softwares’ UI)

  6. dasb says:

    would like to request a feature for reverting the volume back to the Windows 7 style. I was able to do this with a registry tweak but it no longer works in 1903.

    • RaMMicHaeL says:

      The registry tweak still works, I just verified it with 1903. But the latest beta version of the tweaker uses the modern volume indicator for its volume scrolling events. I checked, and it doesn’t work well with the Windows registry option to disable the modern indicator. You can use the sndvol_classic advanced option of the tweaker to revert to the old behavior.

  7. Michael says:

    I often have many windows (hundreds). Is it possible for this app to fast scroll the entries, maybe with the mouse scroll? How can I make a feature request? Thank you.

    • RaMMicHaeL says:

      7+ Taskbar Tweaker has several options that can help you manage lots of windows. Some of them are:
      * The Taskbar Inspector. You can launch it from the tweaker’s options window or from the tray icon, by double/middle clicking the taskbar, and by other means (such as a keyboard shortcut) by adjusting it via the advanced options.
      * The “Cycle between taskbar buttons” option.
      * The multipage_wheel_scroll advanced option.
      * Custom grouping and combining.
      * And more, just play with the various options and see what fits your workflow.

  8. Difool2nice says:

    hi there ! lot of difficulties to open your website ! lot of issues, load slooooooooowwwwwly ! i must reload it several time and some links go to a cloudfare error page…

    • RaMMicHaeL says:

      I know that there are issues sometimes for some geographical locations. The proper solution would probably be to switch hosting, but I’m reluctant to do it for now, since it’s time consuming to move it all. As a workaround you can use a web proxy, there are plenty of those, Google for it.

  9. James says:

    Whats going on? When will you release the update for 1903? Or are you as usual dragging out on things to feed on the donations of inpatient people?

  10. Stop being rude #2 says:

    You should be happy you get this software for free at all. What specifically have you done to earn the end result of many manhours of labour of somebody else?

  11. Timothy says:

    Beta tester here! Thanks for this awesome tool! I love it.

    Noticing that tray_icons_padding has some unusual effects now. Setting it to “1” used to make the padding tight and perfect, but now the icons run together. I tried other values and found that larger values have more padding, and setting it to “8” seemed to look a lot like the previous version. However, if you lock your computer and unlock it, it looks weird again. Screenshots below.

    Set to 1: https://postimg.cc/8F7WxqG4
    Before unlocking, set to 8: https://postimg.cc/qzpKpt0z

  12. Pablo says:

    I’m beta-testing version on Win 1903, and I’m noticing that the Search window will always remain open even after clicking outside of it or some search result. I have to press the Escape key in order to close it.
    As soon as 7TT is closed, the search window can be closed normally.

    Thanks for all the effort!

    • RaMMicHaeL says:

      Hi Pablo,

      I tried, but wasn’t able to reproduce the issue. Can you reproduce it consistently, or was it a one time issue? Do you still have the issue if you turn off all of the tweaker’s settings? If not, can you enable them one by one and see which option causes the issue? Thanks.

      • Pablo says:

        so in the end 7TT wasn’t the cause of the issue I think, but a failing Cortana.

        Thanks for your time on checking this.

  13. gundamhyl says:

    The donate version completely don’t work in 20H1(190607), so sad, here are the errors:

  14. Ron says:

    AVG is giving me the IDP.generic (ID Protection – Behavior Shield) on 7+ ( 6/29/19) after its latest self update.

    I’m pretty sure this is a false positive from a heuristics engine in AVG, but I’d feel better hearing from others that they’ve seen the same and enabled an exception for 7+ with no ill effects.

  15. That_Guy says:

    Recently updated. SMADAV recognizes it as a user virus, not sure if there is anything you can do, but I had to disable SMADAV as I’ve been using this tweaker for so long, I can’t live without it.

    Thanks for this program and all the work you’ve put into it.

  16. Iam says:

    It would be great if there was an option to launch a manually selected program by taskbar double and middle clicks.

    I have the latest beta running on W10 Pro 1903 but unfortunately the taskbar reverts back to the wider (window standard size) every time I reboot. I’m looking in to a way to have make it a slim one. Many thanks in advance!

    • RaMMicHaeL says:

      You need to have the tweaker to run at startup. If it does, it makes the taskbar narrow every time it launches. Otherwise Windows reverts it to the default minimal width.

      • Studio says:

        Hi there, and thank you for your reply. I have it running with the Startup. I forgot to mention that I’d like the taskbar to placed on the right side of my right monitor. (I have a 3 monitor setup). However, if I place it there it doesn’t stay narrow it reverts back to the Windows minimal width. Any ideas?

        • RaMMicHaeL says:

          Can you post a screenshot of your vertical taskbar after it gets reset?

            • RaMMicHaeL says:

              Hmm, the width is correct. Basically, here’s how the option is supposed to work:
              * You enable the no_width_limit advanced options.
              * You resize the taskbar to be narrow.
              * The tweaker saves the width in the registry in this branch:
              HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\7 Taskbar Tweaker
              under the value: last_taskbar_width.
              * You restart the computer.
              * The last_taskbar_width value is read.
              * If the value exists, and if the taskbar’s width is system’s most narrow (62 pixels in Windows 10 with standard DPI), the taskbar is resized to the last_taskbar_width value.

              Now, your taskbar width is 62 pixels, so that’s OK. What about the last_taskbar_width value? Can you check whether you have it on your computer?

              • Studio says:

                Hi there and thank you for you replies. Much appreciated ! Ideally I’d like to have the taskbar to this width :

                Here is the setting in the registry:

                Thank you again!

                • RaMMicHaeL says:

                  Everything looks correct – the value in the registry is 38, and so is the width of the taskbar on the screenshot. So the tweaker is supposed to resize the taskbar once it’s launched.

                  Try the following:
                  * Resize the taskbar to 38 pixels.
                  * Exit the tweaker.
                  * Enlarge the taskbar and then shrink it as much as you can. You should end up with a 62 pixels wide taskbar.
                  * Run the tweaker again.

                  The tweaker is supposed to resize the taskbar when it launches. If that doesn’t work, then I’m afraid I’m out of ideas. In this case I can send you a debug build of the tweaker and we can try to see why it doesn’t resize on your computer.

                  • Studio says:

                    Ah! I think you may have missed my original post. I am actually trying to do on one of my secondary monitors. I have a 3 monitor setup with the main one being in the middle. So I am actually trying to have the thin task bar on my right monitor on the right hand side.

                    That wouldn’t work right?

                    • RaMMicHaeL says:

                      Secondary taskbars are supported, but I haven’t tested a setup with more than one. Your screenshots show the main taskbar (I can see from the notification area), so I focused on that.

                      If the problem is with a taskbar different than the one on the screenshots, that’s another story 🙂 did you resize the secondary taskbar? The last_secondary_taskbar_width entry should be created in the registry.

  18. Studio says:

    No no. I am using only 1 taskbar on my 3 monitor setup (Left – Main – Right) but I’d like it to be on the right monitor. It still resets back when I reboot though.

    Does it matter that monitor LEFT and RIGHT are different size (smaller) than the MAIN monitor ?

    • RaMMicHaeL says:

      Since you have only one taskbar, it shouldn’t matter how many monitors you have, and which of them has the taskbar, etc.

      Let’s get back to this comment of mine:

      Try the following:
      * Resize the taskbar to 38 pixels.
      * Exit the tweaker.
      * Enlarge the taskbar and then shrink it as much as you can. You should end up with a 62 pixels wide taskbar.
      * Run the tweaker again.

      Try to do that, and report whether it works, i.e. whether the taskbar shrinks after the tweaker is launched. If not, try to do the same with the taskbar unlocked. And if possible, try to do that with the external monitors detached.

      • Studio says:

        Hi there. Unfortunately it didn’t work. I tried your instructions step-by-step but still the same behaviour.

        • RaMMicHaeL says:

          OK, let’s try the debug build approach:
          * Download DebugView.
          * Download this test build of 7+ Taskbar Tweaker and install it.
          * Exit the tweaker if it’s running.
          * Enlarge the taskbar and then shrink it as much as you can. You should end up with a 62 pixels wide taskbar.
          * Run DebugView.
          * Run the tweaker.
          * Look at DebugView, you should see debug logs. Paste them here.

          • Studio says:

            Here it is :

            00000001 0.00000000 [13428] no_width_limit = 0
            00000002 14.67364120 [13428] no_width_limit = 1
            00000003 14.67365456 [13428] Getting last_taskbar_width…

    It seems that your site has some virus. I have used your application or a long time and I’ll be forced to stop using it because it seems that the installations on your website have virus. Could you check that? Thanks a lot!

    • RaMMicHaeL says:

      First of all, that’s a false positive detection. False positives are unfortunately common for beta versions of 7+ Taskbar Tweaker which are not popular enough. Please see the FAQ here and this blog post.

      Also, the version that you linked,, is more than 3 months old and is not relevant anymore.

  20. Jamie Simon says:

    Hi, I’ve been using Taskbar Tweaker for YEARS and I love it. So first off, THANK YOU for writing such a great program. 🙂

    A few months ago, I noticed that every time it tried to run, I would get an error. I see your post about the May update to W10. I honestly don’t remember when it started having problems, but it could well be associated with that.

    Anyway, per your suggestion, I downloaded the beta version. I uninstalled the original version and d/l beta. Upon install, I got an error message: Error opening file for writing, then it showed the path where it was trying to install. I had the option to abort, retry or ignore. Tried aborting and retrying, no dice. Retry did nothing, so I hit ignore. When it finished the install, I got an incompatibility warning, that an unsupported build of Windows 10 was detected, and that proceeding would lead to unexpected results. I proceeded anyway, and got the “could not load library” error that I see someone else got. I OK’ed out of it and got a popup saying an updated versions of Tweaker is available (strange, since I d/l the most current version from your website today), but when I hit update, it errored out.

    So… now you know what I know. LOL I’m not a programmer and don’t really know what else I can tell you to help figure out the issue, but I really, really miss being able to move my programs around on my taskbar.

    Anything you can recommend to fix the problem would be hugely appreciated.

    • RaMMicHaeL says:

      THANK YOU for writing such a great program. 🙂

      You’re welcome 🙂

      Upon install, I got an error message: Error opening file for writing, then it showed the path where it was trying to install.

      What’s the path that you’re trying to install to? The default path should be writable to non-admin users, but if you chose a custom path when originally installing the tweaker (for example the Program Files folder), you might need to run the installer as administrator.

      I proceeded anyway, and got the “could not load library” error that I see someone else got.

      What’s the exact error message? You should see a number along with the text.

      If you don’t mind resetting your settings, you can uninstall the tweaker and check the “Remove the tweaker’s settings” checkbox, then install it again. This should solve any issues you have, unless the issue is with your system.

      • Jamie Simon says:

        Well… I tried something different. I had been uninstalling through the app. Instead, I went into program manager today and uninstalled that way. It was odd that it was even there, since I’d uninstalled the day I posted this originally.

        Anyway, upon doing a complete uninstall and reinstall – yet again! – it appears to be working. YAY!!!

        Thanx so much for the response. If I have any further questions, I know where to come.

        I’m thrilled to be able to use this again. 🙂

  21. John D. Blue says:

    Thank you very much for 7+ Taskbar Tweaker. I’ve used it a lot under Windows 7 Professional. Some days ago I’ve upgraded my Windows 7 Professional installation to Windows 10 Professional (1803). I and other users don’t like the highlighted line under the taskbar icons to running programs in Windows 10. For example see “How to get rid of the line under the taskbar icons ?”

    Or do a web search to “line under the taskbar icons”. I would appreciate it if this annoying underline could be deactivated over 7+ Taskbar Tweaker as well.

    Keep on the good work.

    Kind regards,

    Just a heads up – After installing KB4517211 for Windows 10 version 1903, 7+ Taskbar Tweaker no longer works. I got the old Could not load library message after the reboot.

    Uninstalled the update returns 7TT to normal operation.

  23. Robin says:

    I’m using the current version, v5.7, of 7+ Taskbar Tweaker on two Windows 10 Pro computers, one a custom-built desktop with a Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UDH3 motherboard and the other a Dell XPS 13-9360 laptop. Everything worked great until earlier today when I downloaded and installed the 2019-09 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 1903 for x64-based Systems (KB4517211). Now, on both computers, when I try to run 7+ Taskbar Tweaker v5.7, I get an error dialog box with the following message: “7+ Taskbar Tweaker: Could not load library (1004)”. I love this little app and am very sad it’s no longer working. Please help!

    • RaMMicHaeL says:

      Hi Alexander,
      There shouldn’t be any difference regarding settings between version 5.6 and 5.8.
      Is the installation portable? Was it installed for every user, or are all users sharing a single installation of the tweaker (if that’s the former, it can indeed cause issues)?

      • Alexander says:

        thanks for the quick response.

        “Is the installation portable?” Yes we use the portable installation.

        “Was it installed for every user, or are all users sharing a single installation of the tweaker” Yes I think this is the case. All Users are sharing the same Installation over SCCM. I copy the portable installation files to C:\Program Files\7+Taskbar Tweaker

        Where does the application store the config?

        Thanks for the Support

        • Alexander says:

          if I use the Standard Installation, it seems to work without any problems 🙂

          thanks and goodbye

        • RaMMicHaeL says:

          Hi Alexander,
          Well, the portable version stores the configuration in the program’s folder. The Program Files folder is not writable by programs running as non-admin, hence the failure. Anyway, I’m glad you sorted it out.

  26. Found a small “feature”.

    On one of my machines, sometimes the tweaker loads before the taskbar has actually appeared. It pops up a message to complain, and then remains running in the SysTray.

    Cue confusion when I try to start the tweaker again the settings dialogue appears, but it still doesn’t work, until I remember to manually quit the tweaker and restart it.

    Could you make it terminate after getting this error message, or even better could you make it wait until the taskbar appears, timing out after a short while and then giving an error and terminating?

    As always, love the program and thank you for all your work put into it!

    • RaMMicHaeL says:

      It pops up a message to complain

      What does the message say?

      could you make it wait until the taskbar appears

      That’s what should happen. The tweaker is run by explorer, and then waits for explorer’s initialization before looking for a taskbar. That is unless you’re using a non-standard setup, such as configuring the tweaker to run with a scheduler task instead of the standard autorun mechanism.

      • Yes I’m running it with a scheduled task. Originally because I had one machine where I couldn’t use the run key for weird reasons, but also because the program starts faster, which is handy when you’re using no_width_limit because you get the correct taskbar size earlier in the boot sequence, with the downside of occasionally it starts too fast and fails.

        I’ve gone with an autohotkey script from the scheduled task as a workaround, which is a bit slower than starting it directly, but never fails:

        SysGet, Primary, MonitorPrimary
        SysGet, Desktop, Monitor, %Primary%

        SysGet, WorkArea, MonitorWorkArea, %Primary%

        While (%WorkAreaLeft% = %DesktopLeft%) and (%WorkAreaRight% = %DesktopRight%) and (%WorkAreaTop% = %DesktopTop%) and (%WorkAreaBottom% = %DesktopBottom%) {
        SysGet, WorkArea, MonitorWorkArea, %Primary%
        Sleep, 10

        Run, “C:\Program Files\7+ Taskbar Tweaker\7+ Taskbar Tweaker.exe” -hidewnd

        I realise that my setup is a niche use case and not a priority, but it’s a “nice to have”, if 7TT could handle this itself at the point it’s ready to inject the DLL.

    • RaMMicHaeL says:

      I did both in the latest beta version:

      1. The tweaker’s UI is now disabled if it’s not injected into explorer.
      2. If the tweaker is launched and the taskbar doesn’t exist, it will inject into explorer (i.e. will actually work) once the taskbar appears. That’s how it worked for a long time, but at some point I made it not re-inject since it could cause crash loops. Now I marked the “taskbar wasn’t found” error to still allow re-injection.

      Now when I think of it writing this comment, it’s pretty safe to just remove the error message altogether. If there’s no taskbar, the user probably knows that. I’ll do that in the next update.

      • Just gave it a test. Removed my script to wait for the taskbar to appear and called 7TT directly from an “on logon” scheduled task.

        It works perfectly. When I log in, I don’t even see the taskbar appear at full width and then shrink any more, it just logs in straight to the narrow taskbar.

        This is especially useful on my work machine, as I have to use an auto-starting piece of software that sizes itself based on the available screen space when it starts and then never lets you change it, which was annoying when it started first!

        Thank you so much!

      • I’m getting the “Taskbar not found” error, even though it’s clearly loaded correctly and shrunk the taskbar down to the narrow width.

        Not a huge issue, just click OK and it goes away. Is it worth getting rid of the error message?

        • RaMMicHaeL says:

          What happens is that the tweaker is launched before the taskbar appears and shows the error message, but once the taskbar appears it detects it and activates. What I meant in the last paragraph of my previous comment (“I’ll do that in the next update.”) is that I’m going to remove that message. Let me know if you get this message often, and I’ll release a new beta version with this change sooner.

  27. Alex says:

    Dear author of the great app and everyone others!
    Could you tell me please if your app can enlarge ONLY icons on taskbar?
    I need only this feature.
    And (if app could do) should be your app run once for setting or it will autostart and work every time to keep icons on taskbar enlarged?

    • RaMMicHaeL says:

      Hi Alex,

      Could you tell me please if your app can enlarge ONLY icons on taskbar?

      Yes, you can use just that option.

      should be your app run once for setting or it will autostart and work every time to keep icons on taskbar enlarged?

      It needs to be running for the functionality it provides.

    What can I do? Any chance to fix it? I like it…

    • RaMMicHaeL says:

      One possible reason might be a security software, such as an antivirus, that kills the tweaker. Please try adding the tweaker to the exclusions list of your security program.

      You can also try following this guide to see why the process is being killed:

      • George says:

        Thanks RaMMicHaeL. I’m using the Defender for the security. As you recommended I added the Program Files 7+ Taskbar Tweaker folder as well as the 7+ Taskbar Tweaker.exe file in the exclusions – but it did not help.
        So far I did not have time to analyze why is the process being killed, but I had another solution: I created a task schedule which runs the program every 3 minutes and it works OK. At least for now, perhaps some future version will work for me as it should…

「果ての山脈」 (Hate no Samyaku)
“Endless Mountain”

Even as slow as this episode was, I was still double checking the timestamp frequently in fear that the episode was going to end.

General Impressions

Boy, am I excited for things next week. However this week isn’t next week so let’s continue to talk about all the setup that this week’s episode did.

Based on everything that we’ve seen and all that we’ve heard from Eugeo as he’s explained the Underworld to Kirito, I’m surprised that there are still so many questions that both I (and presumably Kirito) still have. As a virtual world that has both game elements and hyper-advanced artificial arclight intelligence deeply integrated into it, we still have absolutely no idea why it exists the way it does. What we do know is that it’s a new type of technology that has connections to Kirito’s governmental contact — which would make you question what purpose arclight technology has to some of the most powerful people in the country. Toss in that artificial arclight intelligence has an obvious “governor” built into it to prevent it from breaking the rules and it all sounds like that the Underworld might be a place to create, test, and reiterate on this new form of artificial intelligence. If I were to use a real life example to compare it to, it sounds a lot like how the neural networks we use right now work. Which, if that were the case, means the possibility of anomalies is totally possible.

I bring up anomalies since there’s absolutely no reason the first episode would have put so much emphasis on Eugeo’s eye when he tried breaking protocol. Akin to another anime that has its characters in a similar world, I’m really hoping that we get a proper arc for Eugeo that dives into him becoming a truly unique character in a world full of advanced artificial intelligence that are bound to a particular set of rules.

Anyways, after all that’s said and done, it looks like next week is going to be a fantastic one. With a big climax on the way, I can’t wait to see just what happens during Kirito and Eugeo’s first real battle. Hopefully, and I mean this in the best way possible, we’ll get to see both of them kick ass and look cool while doing it.

See you guys next week!

      1. Overlord doesn’t really affect scores as it has two types of Goblins: Enri’s Goblins (created by that item Ainz gave her) which are nice and chill guys, and the native New World Goblins that are stereotypically evil.

    1. Eh I wouldn’t say that. In Overlord even the native Goblins are clearly shown to be capable of peaceful coexistence. Remember Agu and the survivors of his tribe? Heck even random Ogres were made civilized with the right leadership. They are more like another sentient species etc. In Goblin Slayers the Goblins are literally parasites upon mankind and diametrically opposed to them. Unlike the Goblins in say Overlord, they have base instincts that pull them to do terrible things.

    1. It’s too soon to know how this season will turn out. Personally I enjoy all SAO & GGO also Mother’s Rosario wasn’t nonsense. Just because certain arcs of the greater story didn’t appeal to every audience doesn’t mean it’s nonsense.

  1. I actually quite like this series because I play the SAOIF game and seeing Eugeo and Alice for the first time in full technicolor compared to the manga is quite an upgrade plus how the art style was formed looks amazing.

  2. So then, did the durability of that stupid tree go down significantly? I couldn’t notice.
    And speaking of anomalies, Eugeo’s hesitation feels unnatural. Is it an anomaly, or is it something that was put upon him as a curse (read: programmed)?

  3. “which would make you question what purpose arclight technology has to some of the most powerful people in the country.”

    It didn’t make me wonder that… governments fund plenty of things that don’t benefit politicians. (Grants are like that.) But now I’m certainly wondering about it.

  4. Looks like Kirito, Eugeo, and Selka are in trouble. If only there was some sort of hero they could call on; someone with the proper armor and arms to deal with this horde of goblins. Some sort of… Goblin Exterminator or something.

Role Model Records recording artist, Julien, gears up to release his mixtape, ‘The Session’, in February 2014. Julien partners with DJ Wade-O, as the host of his first mixtape to deliver a classic hip hop sounding project. Wade-O says “I’m very excited to be working with Julien on The Session Mixtape. I can definitely say that it’s not going to be like anything you’ve heard before. I personally cannot wait for people to here his music so make sure you get it when it drops“.

The Session features production from Toronto’s Boogie, Atlanta’s Superstar O (credits include Jim Jones, Da’ T.R.U.T.H.) and more. “Crazy or Not” the first single off the mixtape will be released on January 28th “I’m actually very honored to be working with DJ Wade-O on the release of my first mixtape. I signed to Role Model Records in late 2011 so I’m still very new as an artist and I think that there’s a lot of pressure on new artists to be more appealing to a broader audience or to overproduce on content. My hope for this project is that listeners will leave knowing more about who Julien is and why he believes what he believes. I want them to leave with a sense of clarity and understanding on topics like ‘Sacrifice’…that’s why it’s called ‘The Session’. I’m more of a teacher, -teaching over dope beats on this mixtape-, than an MC.” says Julien.

Julien was recently featured on Spoken’s sophomore album ‘Smoke’, as well as the single “Ain’t Worth It” (‘Glass House’, 2012). After which he took a step back to study the music industry and his position within it. Now he’s ready to take listeners back to the foundations with ‘The Session’, a project reminiscent of early 90’s Hip Hop, yet still very contemporary. Julien hopes to use this platform to present some thought provoking topics through a biblical worldview.

Troubles and Toleration

We all go through troubles in our life time, however big or small. Sometimes we simply feel that they are just too big to deal with. But in the end we make it…right? Year after year we tell ourselves that life could not bring me anything more troublesome, and we begin to expect better things until SHMACK! Another even more difficult situation.

I thought to myself the other day. How do we seem to make it in life when troubles just seem to get bigger and more worse to deal with. I recently had a difficulty i thought not possible for recovery. Then i thought to myself, well maybe it’s as simple as, we get stronger the more we face more difficult trouble. So in a way we tolerate, conquer and surpass more as time goes by, become stronger as time goes by.

If we so choose it.

It’s like a line graph showing an upward correlation of two parallel lines, being of course Troubles and Tolerance. So as life becomes harder, it seems we learn from the troubles and in return evolve into stronger individuals. It also reminds me of a sound waveform fluctuating. The waveform fluctuates up and down through the air, expanding in both the higher frequencies and lower frequencies. The frequencies here show the ups and downs of life. Putting the two together gives you the notion that although life may fluctuate with good times and bad times; ultimately pulling you into a state of flux; if we so choose to fight it and learn from it, then we can fight the troubles and become stronger and stronger in each battle. And of course as much as we would like to believe, the troubles of life will never end. We must simply get used to it. To tolerate, to be patient and to endure. All words correlating to fight through it.

I guess there are two things i can think of to take from this. One being that choice is at the heart of troubles. Choosing to give up seems to result in a backward plummet until we face a situation of equal peril, until we eventually decide to fight it, inevitably becoming stronger. Making that choice however is the tough part. So many of us choose to give up, or even give up before we’ve even started, but that is where my second point comes in, having faith in ourselves. By seeing that troubles and tolerance go hand-in-hand, we can understand that we are eventually going to make it, if we choose to. And do we want to make it, of course we do; we have dreams and aspirations. We want them and so we know we are going to have to work for them, fight for them and make sacrifices for them. I believe that everyone in the world wants something, dreams about something. Therefore our choice is made. We want to make it through. It’s almost like we subconsciously choose it. To have made that choice so subconsciously means that somewhere in our minds buried deep, is our belief. Believing we can get through it. I think that’s the toughest part, but once you tap into that part of yourself -and it is in all of us- then troubles becomes secondary and is no longer the dominant part of your head or even life. A life will never stop throwing difficulties our way. Ultimately i believe that the harder the difficulties, the more we have to learn. And learn we will. In time.

Jobs, and the Fear of being Great

Creatives, we call ourselves.

Artists, we call ourselves.

Freelancers, we call ourselves.

We are tomorrow, if we believe.

We sleep late, we try to wake up early, we socialise less than we should. Our computers, pens, pencils, paintbrushes become our tools of priority. Food, exercise, communication somehow falls behind. Maybe not all of these, maybe just some but we alone know who we are and what we are doing.

Jobs. This is where our lives are turned upside down. We want our dream job now and we strive to get it, building portfolios, showreels and many creative CVs. But sometimes non of it seems to make a difference. I am going to focus on one aspect of why we seem to fail at getting jobs. This aspect is why i fail to find a job and many i know who can relate. We all have a safety net, that one place we know we feel safe even when we know we should not be in there. Be it a neglected child, an only child, or simply the youngest child. Of course there are many reasons and ways we have safety nets but i am not a genius, i am not a philosopher, nor a psychologist. I am just a man trying to help people.

The neglected child wants to be loved, the only child wants a sibling and the youngest child wishes to have been a older child. In conjunction, the neglected child finds the seclusion a way of hiding away until some attention is thrown his/her way on which he/her thrives on; the only child finds safety in the attention of his/her parents; and the youngest finds safety in simply being the youngest, although they may have the elders to build up to as an expectation, they do indeed find safety in the protection of them. Many of us do this and these are major factors in why we don’t get jobs and often fail in other things. Of course there are many other reasons, but i am focusing especially on these for i have encountered these in life one time or another. It may seem a little farfetched but if i have experienced it then it is safe to say that it is exists and that i am not alone.

It is time to change things. It is time to become legends in the making, because trust me, we can. But we must start by throwing away our shackles. We must put ourselves into our fears. Fear doesn’t have to be something bad that we are scared of. A close friend of mines made me realise how much we fear the great things in life. How although it may sound weird, we fear getting the perfect job, we fear the overload of what are trying to get in the first place, we fear becoming any greater than we currently are. It’s amazing how we can fear the things we want. So, we sit there day in day out, applying for jobs without any real enthusiasm, any real motivation and any real determination. We can even go as far as making ourselves believe we have all of the above, when in fact we’re simply storing it, hiding it, fearing what might happen if enthusiasm, motivation and determination grips us and propels us forward.

It is time to put ourselves into our fears. Where the neglected child says,

“No more hiding in safety, it’s time to get my job, to start from the beginning and work my way up to greatness, and only then will i realise that i have friends and people around that will see me and be inspired; and no longer will i be alone or unloved.”

Where the only child says,

“No more using my parents as safety, it’s time to get my job, step out into the world and realise that amongst the crowds of humanity, i can stand out, i can meet people, become great and spread the knowledge and message around the globe because after all we are never alone.”

And where the youngest child says,

“No more hiding as youngest, no more using the safety of being smothered and protected by the elders, for in mind, i too am an elder and i believe it; and with this i will get the job i need right now to work my way up to greatness; and i can show the world that the timidness of the youngest can explode out over the globe in great awe.”

I hope you can see how these three case studies can be utilised for many others. It is time we stopped fearing about being in the world and experiencing the scary adventure that is laid in front of us. It’s time to believe in ourselves and simply step out there. Only once we are out there in the career wilderness will we gain the experience we need to travel further; and you never know what surprises you may find yourself in, what job you’ll find the opportunity to work in, and what people you’ll meet, and in return inspire. Our aspirations are not prisons, but the key to our success. Today marks the day i will no longer hide in my room, behind my computer, travelling only in cyberspace and waiting for my salvation. I am going out, reaching for my own salvation and becoming the legend i have always wanted to be.

Come, join me.

Thank you for reading.

University of Central Oklahoma Wants You to RECONNECT and Finish the Degree You Started

University of Central Oklahoma logo

During the month of April, 18 institutions across Oklahoma are hosting Reach Higher RECONNECT events, on campus and/or virtually. The goal of RECONNECT is to increase awareness of the adult-friendly degree completion options available through the Reach Higher initiative, and encourage adults who have earned some college credit to successfully complete their degrees. The Reach Higher initiative offers adult learners a flexible schedule, allowing them to maintain a normal work routine while completing their degrees online or in person.

The Reach Higher initiative provides two distinct degree completion pathways for adult learners. Reach Higher: FlexFinish offers flexible enrollment and online options to working adults who wish to pursue an Associate in Arts or Associate in Science degree in Enterprise Development or a Bachelor of Science degree in Organizational Leadership. Reach Higher: DirectComplete offers adult students the opportunity to complete a degree program connected with workforce development needs which align with Oklahoma’s 100 Critical Occupations list. Please visit our website for more information.

Each week a different institution will be highlighted and the details of their events will be shared.

This week’s spotlight: University of Central Oklahoma (UCO)

Tuesday, April 13, 2021, UCO will host a 3-hour virtual event from 11:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m.

Location: Virtual/Zoom or Microsoft Teams

Tuesday, April 13, 2021– UCO will host after hours services from 5-6 p.m.

We understand that many adults must work and aren’t able to attend an event during the day, so UCO will offer after-hours support, as well. During this time, the program academic advisor will be available by appointment only. For more information on the University of Central Oklahoma, visit their website here.
