Official Windows Improvements or Eye-candy Thread
Posted: Sun Apr 13, 2008 5:12 am
The purpose of this thread is to generate a library of applications or add-ons that in one way or another either improve windows or simply make it look more sex. I will start off by posting two applications that I have recently found that have made my computer much sexier than xp classic ever was
Please try to use the following format for your contributions: it helps make things nice and pretty
RocketDock
Operating System: WindowsXP, VISTA (perhaps others, those where the only two OS's I tested)
Purpose: Application launcher
License: Freeware
Website: http://www.rocketdock.com
Download: http://files.punklabs.com/RocketDock/Ro ... v1.3.5.exe
Notes: The first is a dock application: it stores links to your applications (retaining some special right-click actions related to that shortcut) and displays them as icons in the dock bar. You can change the icons it uses to whatever you want, and even add other functions to it by docklets.
WinFlip
Operating System: WindowsXP
Purpose: Alt-Tab Replacement
License: Freeware (I think: I never really looked ^_^)
Website: http://tokyodownstairs.blogspot.com/200 ... nflip.html
Download: http://www.tokyodownstairs.com/binary/WFlip042.zip
Notes: It seems to work fine for me: tell me how it works for you. Makes your Alt-Tb behave like the vista style windows cascade.
