Shell Overlay Icons Problem Fix

Having many programs with Shell Overlay Icons in Windows will cause some of them to not appear. This is because there is a limit to how many Shell Overlay Icons. (Not sure but I think it’s around 10 icons)

Below is an example of a Shell Overlay Icon.

To overcome this problem you need to run “regedit” and edit the registry entries in the path below:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers

Just delete any entries you don’t need and restart.



Hürriyet Mobil Hackathon Winners

I participated in a hackathon hosted by Hürriyet (http://www.hurriyethackathon.com) along with my friends Erisn and Sinan. It lasted more than 48 hours, full of coding, designing and debugging. We were awarded as the third best project. There were 54 groups from all around Turkey with some really great ideas and projects. Our group was called T2K and our project was named Elizabeth. Below is the video we used for presentation at the finals. It’s also a description of the project. Continue reading “Hürriyet Mobil Hackathon Winners”

How to limit 32-bit applications to one instance in Visual C++ (with or without Qt)

I use the code from the following article to allow only a single instance of my programs (mostly written using Qt Framework) to run on Windows. Some programs (specially the ones which connect to a specific type of hardware or resource) need this limitation to avoid conflicts.

Please also note that this code is specific to Windows.

Build Qt-Static using MSVC2010

I keep the following notes (steps) as a personal guideline for building Qt Statically using Microsoft Visual C++ and I never fail to do it but please keep in mind that these are NOT some exact steps and they need to be changed (slightly though 🙂 ) in some cases. Leave comments if you have any questions.

I have used Qt 5.4.0 with Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 (MSVC2010) but it is more or less the same for similar compilers and others Qt versions.

Required Includes and Libraries for OpenCV in Qt

Update on March 18th, 2018: Now you can use this post for a more recent, accurate and complete guide on adding OpenCV to Qt projects.

Use the following lines in a .pri file that is added to your project by using “include(C:/opencv/opencv.pri)”. This allows easy including of headers and library references in a Qt project.

(Note that in case you are using another version of OpenCV, your library names might be different.)
