The idea is to make a simple switch which people can use
to control their own macros, batch scripts, etc.

[Image: tickbox.gif]

Each time the box is ticked, a shortcut would be run. Each
time the box is unticked, an alternate shortcut would be run.

Using this basic plugin with a macro program, *anything*
could be controlled simply by ticking or unticking the handy
desktop option box.


Here are a few random possibilities. As with macros in
general, the purpose is to erradicate many clicks:
(i) Periodically FTP webcam pictures, or not.
(ii) Use business email and fax templates, address book and
True Launch Bar configuration.. or casual.
(iii) Auto-add fresh downloads to mp3 playlist, or not.
(iv) Keep a particular window on top, or not.
(v) Switch language settings for dictionary/macros/etc.
(vi) Turn lights on/off (with X10.)
(vii) Go 'invisible' or 'away' in multiple chat programs.
(viii) Set an alternate default printer for a short while.


The following options should be available:
(i) Select the shortcut to be run when ticked.
(ii) Select the shortcut to be run when unticked.
(iii) Choose the startup state of box, ticked or unticked.
(iv) Choose whether to run a shortcut at startup.

Also, the following might be considered:
(i) Input for an attached label.
(ii) Customize that pop-up context help bubble.
(iii) Option to run a shortcut repeatedly (at timed intervals)
whilst the box is ticked. IE run the shortcut every X
seconds/minutes/hours.
(iv) Option to run repeatedly whilst unticked, as above.
(v) Skins. Someone may want a tick or cross design, or to
make it look like a light switch.
