Productivity - Desktop Accessories (69)

So I am using RBTray, but it is not working on Firefox and Opera. Right Click does not minimize these browsers to tray.

Works fine on Firefox if Title Bar visible, if not use Shift-Right-Clicking on Tab Bar (mine in on top) or Windows-Alt-Down. Also works with Thunderbird. Do not use Opera, but one of the three methods in description seems to work on every program I use, so give it a try.

All 3 methods work on Firefox without Title Bar in 4.14 version. Great app.

Looks like you don't need to extract anything? Looks to be natively portable?

@hamasaki - good catch, instructions updated

I tried both 'Cliquez' links. Both return a 404 error message in a popup window. Must mean version 2.0.05 is gone.

Size 42MB, Win 6.x+ only... Terrible.
My choice - old DeskTopClock 1.81. Only 373 Kb. Less functional, but still cool.

has anybody found a solution for the turning to black problem?

anyonne know of a working script for news RSS ?

on virustotal (https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload) that program is "clean" ... no "ADWARE" !

under "How to extract" 2. is not needed, start FreeVK.exe - thats all ...

Thanks JK. Great ruler for preparing basic scale drawings in MS Word etc. for DIY projects. I especially like the calibration facility, as I prefer to draw at a size that fits the screen space rather than be constrained to a fixed ruler measurement, so this is perfect for that. (Looked at PMeter, but it didn't seem to suit my purpose at all; nor did various others that were either too limited, irritating or had time limits.) :-)

Hi - I've been looking for a successor to the legendary Cool Ruler from FabSoft, which won't run on W7. Really, I need something that sits horizontally and vertically, measures in pixels, mouse/touchpad grab and move, AND allows me to put as many custom marks as I need.

Is this possible?

It's the last bit which is so frustrating. I've found ONE only which allows me to put ONE custom mark. I am getting quite frustrated that so many authors think I need all kinds of fancy goodies--but if I want a protractor or set-square, I will search one out! And it better have custom marks :[

I don't need colour pickers, magnifiers, diagonal placement, skins & etc. Even the "stay on top" is not truly necessary.

With the settings below this acts like a wallpaper changer, though you will lose desktop icons while running in this way.

Couldn't the author just name it correctly?
Its just a desktop picture gadget, a poor one.

Hi Ganamyde,

OW has few different features than widget, so a different name.
It works in Xp which do not have widget support, and also Win8. You are welcome to read features and feedback at the website (https://sites.google.com/site/overlapwallpaper/home) for more information. I will request you to use OW along with widget to get first hand experience.

Thanks donald for tips.

Regards,

Anand

If you only want to shut down a computer via RDP, click on an empty space of the desktop with the left mouse button and then hit [ALT]+[F4]. You will get all available options as you would locally.

@AyrA: See text on website:
"Yes, you can use the shutdown command via the commandline or you can click the taskbar and press Alt-F4, etc, but not everybody is comfortable using the commandline or remembers that hotkey."
