numlock-indicator

This powershell script adds a small indicator to the system tray to indicate when the numlock is enabled.

Install

1. Run install.ps1 in an administrator powershell terminal. This script will add a task scheduler task to start up the indicator on login. Admin privileges are required to add task scheduler tasks.

2. * ⚠Important: You'll need to manually use taskbar settings to pin the taskbar icon so it's always visible!

Copy files to some directory and run powershell systray.ps1. You can also run start.sh to ensure that one copy of the script is always active.

I wrote this because for some reason, my laptop keyboard has no LED indicator for the numlock key (yet they have one for capslock and speakers???)

Feel free to replace icon.png with any bitmap icon if you don't like my terrible pixel art.
