Easily adding a Mouse Over / The-Automator Team Meeting

Every week we often have team meetings where Isaias, Irfan and I discuss what we’re working on.  During one of these calls Isaias suggested Irfan add a mouse-over to a GUI and mentioned “it’s easy”.  He then began to dazzle us!  Check it out in this video.

Where are you

Did you know we have an AutoHotkey Users map that shows where you live?  This is a great way to connect with other AutoHotkey users in PERSON!  I know in a post covid world it’s hard to believe but, over the years, I’ve met with quite a few AutoHotkey fans.  Having real-world conversations is incredibly fun and enlightening.
