Living Room / Re: Change title bar name (in any application)
« Last post by Curt on September 05, 2007, 06:09 PM »
Nifty! justice did a fine job with this.

But I really want a permanent change of certain title bar names.
Are there any free or cheap ones to do this (to me, $20 or 30 is nowhere cheap for this one feature)?

 :tellme:

(Edit: TrialPay is not an option I will want to consider.)
Edit2: I cannot see any that Actual Tools should be offering this feature - temporary or permanent. Is it just me who can't read?

Edit3: Ohh, it is called "Change window caption"
- and is $30 !!  :down:

You could use ScreenShot Captor

I will be able to do the same trick with my FastStone Capture 5.7 within the next couple of weeks, says Andrew from FastStone.

For half a year I have been looking for an easy and fast way to resize my pictures. Not batch resizing of a lot of pictures in one go, but   one by one   now and then   for a special purpose (very often I want the pics I upload to DC to be no more than 560 pixels wide). For a long time I assumed the feature had to be integrated with the context menu, but none of the apps I have been trying would give me what I wanted. The one that came closest was Microsoft's Photo Power Toy, Image Resizer, but it won't let me save settings for any other dimensions than the ones some bureaucrat determined once and for all.

However, today's giveaway offer, DropBox Image Processor have rapidly proven itself to be very easy, fast and reliable to use. Do the settings, and drag and drop the image to the auto-hiding auto-popout window's box in the margen, and the resizing is all  done. If you want several preset dimensions you can just add several boxes into the same window.

Edit: Of course I should't have written it is The Fastest Resizer, it is no faster than the next resizer, but it is a lot easier to use than anything else I have tried, and therefor the total process is faster. As for my special request, I have the dimension presets to be 560 x 9999 pixels - and it is working fine.

The program can do a lot more, it is kind of an editor, but I have so far only been interested in the resizing feature.

DropBox Image Processor performs various image editing process such as rotate; flip; resize; adjust color; adding watermark, text, frame, or shadow; red-eye fixer; etc.

Features:
   
Edit multiple photos with drag-and-drop from any File Explorer or Image Browser.

  • More than 20 image processing
  • Enhance photos easily with Auto Color Level or Auto Contrast.
  • Support the most commonly used image formats (JPG, JPEG2000, GIF, BMP, PNG, TIFF, PCX, etc).
  • Custom DropBox allows you to combine multiple image processors to get unlimited results.
  • Batch photo processing.
  • Convert image to another format.


If you miss the giveaway offer today, the normal price is merely $15.

Yes, some people are talking very highly of it. WreckedCarz even said it is better than MS Office 2003 - but that is of course nonsense. But fine it is. And FREE  :up:

I wouldn't go for that one! But if you buy the not so optimized thingy they will sooner or later offer you their Office at $5. But I guess it is best just to trial the Office 2006 for the moment being.

@ Loki15: To my memory (don't pick too much on me if I am wrong, please), they will give you a chance to buy the program right away at a cheap price (was it $7?). If they do, you should know in advance (now) that this is an one time offer - and an offer which is just fine.

.. What was the link again?  I'll go get it!

Sorry; I don't think you can have it a dollar five right now. As Darwin said, the link I gave was attached to my email address. You will have to trial the program for now. But if you buy *any* Ashampoo program, they will very soon almost spam you with offers to buy what else they have at a very cheap price. And they have a lot, and it really is cheap.

- no excuse!   8)  Try [Edit: deleted]this $5 (FIVE) link - but maybe you'll first have to be a registered user of a program of their's. But you know you can trial Ashampoo Office 2006 for free for 40 days - that is more than long enough for a speedy gonzales like you...

@ AcroLiminator
Will you please consider to add option to change hotkeys? For seven years I have been using Ctrl+Shift+S to activate my screensaver - I am not likely to change that.

@ Loki15
I think you are underestimating AcroDictionary. It is a very fine glossary, but should really be a part of large all-round Dictionaries / Encyclopedias / Glossaries. I know I would love to have AcroDictionary as an integrated part of my Babylon! Please have a look at Babylon Glossary Builder. It would be such a waste to allow your fine glossary not to be used.

Head up, Walt, you have done a very fine job on AcroDictionary, don't let it be wasted! Go another mile, please!

Reflections CAPS by ~styrizo

Thanks, Phil, for taking the time to supply these links. I should say that I really like the look of these text icons, but I don't think I am going to use them myself, because I remember pictures, places and stuff, but it is seldom that I can remember a name.

Yes, I know what you mean, Brandon. My kid sister grew up here in Copenhagen, when I was raised in the other end of the country. When I joined my Copenhagen part of the family as an young adult, I immediately started to explore the "big" city, and very soon I knew more about it than she did, though she had fifteen years in advance.

Yes, it is beautiful. I think it is so beautiful that I am trying not to see it too often (but only during startup), in order not to get so fed up that I wouldn't appreciate it anymore - if you know what I mean?

I cannot give you the widescreen version, because Webshots then will force me to let it replace the one I have, but here is 1600x1200 Shafts of Light from Antelope Canyon, Arizona:

Wow; Dirhael, this surely must have taken you quite some time to do!

I don't think I will be able to reproduce it at my desktop, because I am using Earth Watcher which is not a common wallpaper, but places itself on top of the actual wallpaper from Webshots - (so I would expect it to hide some buttons as well, but I have not yet tried this, so I really don't know - we will se later on) - :

I don't understand this. I have tried again and again to download this 'WUD' setup, but every time I am redirected (?) and getting http://wud.jcarle.co...?type=prog&id=23 which is similar to the front page "about": http://wud.jcarle.com/Default.aspx

What?  :tellme:

Edit: Strange; I got the file the first time I used Firefox instead of Maxthon. Problem (sort of) solved.

.. I actually prefer a small utility called "Windows Updates Downloader". ...
Looks good, Dirhael. Thanks for the link - I'm checking it out. ...

To my understanding one page is saying I will need a fourth party program i.e. nLite to install these WUD (Windows Updates Downloader) downloads, but another page is saying that I don't.

So I ask you guys: Do I need anything more than WUD  to install / update?   :tellme:
