Page 2 of 2 HiddenMenu. A low-resource alternative to the clunky Start Menu. The appearance is nothing to shout about, but it does its job fast and is very well behaved. HoverSnap. An extension to the "Print Scrn" key. It hooks into the key to alter the way it works. It allows you to automatically save screen images to files, rather than having to paste them into a graphics program from the clipboard. The change it makes is not permanent, so no need to worry there - close HoverSnap and everything goes back to normal. WindowSize. Sometimes you might be designing something, such as a website, and want to see what it will look like at another screen size. Changing the screen resolution can be a pain, especially if you need to do it continually. WindowSize solves the problem by allowing you to instantly resize any window to the exact size it would be at another resolution. And it is very accurate, allowing for things such as the taskbar size. 1stQres. Another commonly needed facility is to quickly see how something would appear at a different color resolution. If you design something in hi-color, it can look very odd in 256 color mode. 1stQres is a fast way to switch color resolution - and back again, without having to go through multiple dialogs or the control panel. MagicDsk. Ever wondered what your computer would be like without the desktop icons? You wouldn't want to get rid of them permanently, but MagicDsk allows you to instantly hide or show them from a tray click. WeatherWatcher. There are many weather forecast downloaders around, but unfortunately most seem to download far more than needed, and some adverts too. This program shows you just how much you didn't need - it gets you a full detailed forecast for 10 days by downloading only about 6k of data. If you want a satellite map too, its only about another 10k. This is what a weather program should be like - no bells and whistles, just the weather data you want to know. |
