An AutoHotKey Script to monitor a window or section of a window (such as a progress bar, or video) in a resizable live preview window (thumbnail)
This is an update to the Updated LiveWindows AHK script by KYF, which takes advantage of Windows Vista/7 aeropeak rather than taking a sequence of screen shots. This means the thumbnail is updated in real time, so you can draw a picture around an embedded video, then float that on top of another window... without any loss in framerate.
The script relies on Thumbnail.ahk by maul.esel. It also takes advantage of WinDrag.ahk by Nickstokes.
