Well, since I’ve been missing so many things, I figured I’d just throw up a quick post with some new toys:
First of all, there is a new release of SciTE text editor, and the WinMerge file-comparison tool, and FileZilla FTP, SFTP and SCP client…
ShirusuPad is a nifty little note pad for when you need to jot something down, and even has a feature for sticky-notes-like functionality. They released a new version in February after months and months of inactivity.
QuickChanger is a slick little wallpaper changer that lets you preview and switch wallpapers quick as a blink. It even has an (optional) random changer, and the ability to hide your desktop icons, and the ability to guess at reasonable text color for icons reasonable for a particular wallpaper.
Orbit is like an on-demand “dock” application, built using pie menus — a circular ring of buttons— that pops up around your mouse when you want it to. It can serve to launch any application, to switch between running apps, and more. It’s pretty slick looking as well, and can be skinned to whatever look you want. On the downside, it needs a reasonable graphics card to run with all it’s features on, although the graphics built into my motherboards at work will run it fine if I turn off the animations and transparency effects. It’s also a bit of a pain to add shortcuts to it, but you shouldn’t have to do that too often, and it’s obvious that you will want to set up the shortcuts by hand to use cool PNG icons …
