Yep, exactly!

what do you think about VersaUtils?

I love the colors and the Itch page, I can't comment on all the features since honestly all I would have a use for is the password generator, but overall I'm surprised at how quickly you got all of that together lol

can you give me some basic ideas, that I can add? Keep in mind that I use WinForms which is also pretty limited(i would have used WPF or something else)

Hmm, what about a process manager? Like taskbar but better.

can you give more details?

Also, I'm stealing your idea of having the screenshots scale when you hover over them!!

You actually did it, wtaf XD

what do you use to make your program?

(1 edit)

I use GameMaker, which obviously your first thought is like "wait, what??"
Don't use GameMaker. They have ZERO UI support. Everything was written 100% from scratch for Zenith Grabber. That includes even basic stuff like positioning, scaling for multiple resolutions, mouse interaction, drawing to the screen, all of it. 99% of the code is just getting the UI to work. They also don't let you do a lot of cool things with your code and I'm often really restricted in what I can do. In hindsight I wouldn't have used GameMaker if I had known the uses I wanted out of Zenith Grabber; it's just too far into development that I can't switch now.

I see you're pretty good with C# so if you do want to go down the from-scratch approach that I use (which is important if you want really nice and dynamic UI) then I recommend Raylib-cs. It's the same sorta deal, but with a language that isn't terrible.

how much time did you put into it

A LOT. I started making Zenith Grabber in May of 2021, I was working on it on and off until releasing it in beta in September--and that was already over a year ago. I've probably spent roughly 300+ hours actively developing it. For such a small program, it's actually quite a  gigantic project!
