Our 20th Year!
Happy New Year! A somewhat belated new year greeting, but one that comes with the realisation that this year marks the 20th year of Macro Scheduler. The first version was released way back in 1997!
20 years! Quite amazing. It all happened by accident really and I certainly didn’t expect it to still be going strong 20 years later. In fact it’s stronger than ever.
Thanks so much to all of our customers for all your support and feedback, helping to make Macro Scheduler the product it is. Some of you have been around since that very first year and still use the software today, and that makes me very proud.
Here’s to another 20 years!

Happy Christmas from Macro Scheduler and all at MJT Net!
Happy Christmas everyone!
Remember this game from a few years back:
“Help Santa get the presents down the chimney, but watch out for the snowmen and coal which freeze the chimney or set the presents on fire. Of course true to form Macro Scheduler saves you time, so in the game if you catch an MJT Gearhead you get extra time!”

And read Santa’s Macro Scheduler case study:

Have a good one!

Macro Scheduler 14.3.05 Released
Just a quick update – Macro Scheduler 14.3.05 is now available for download from the usual places.
This version fixes an issue for people running Non-English versions of Windows who found they had to set the “Language for non-Unicode programs” option to English in Regional Settings in order for the SendText/Send functions to work correctly. This is no longer necessary.
As that is the only change there is no need to download if your Windows is set to English. Feel free to skip this update.

Macro Scheduler 14.3 Is Here – UI Refresh
We have today released Macro Scheduler 14.3. This version has had a UI refresh with new, larger toolbar buttons.
It has also had a lot of behind the scenes work done to make it more usable and look better on Windows 8 and Windows 10 when using high DPI scaling, which is now the default setting when using modern high definition monitors.
There are no functional changes in this release as we wanted to concentrate on the UI changes and DPI scaling issues first, and get this out as soon as possible. The next update will include script engine enhancements and work on that is already underway.

4k UHD Monitor Support
I thought it was about time for an update.
We are currently working on improving Macro Scheduler’s UI appearance under 4k UHD monitors. These screens are becoming more common, especially since the launch of Windows 10 which includes improved scaling features.
Macro Scheduler needs to be DPI aware in order to perform image recognition on modern high definition screens. The problem is that when you make an app DPI aware, Windows then doesn’t automatically scale it for you. The upshot of this is that the 16×16 toolbar icons amongst other things are then almost too small to see. Some older visual components also don’t cope well.
So we are working hard creating new 32×32 icons and making tweaks to some of the forms and components to ensure Macro Scheduler looks good and is usable on this new breed of high-res monitors.
We also continue to work on script engine improvements and feature suggestions. However, right now we are prioritising the UI improvements and since more and more people are using new 4k screens we plan to release an update with only these UI changes before releasing other changes. This will allow us to get this out more quickly.
Watch this space.
