Idontwantspam Posted September 6, 2007 Posted September 6, 2007 Several I like... Google earth. Why's that not here yet? And now with a flight simulator! PortableApps.com - A lot of common applications, made portable. Great for USB flash drives. Mostly FOSS I think.System Info for Windows - all you could ever want to know about your PC. (Download)Microsoft Virtual PC - A free alternative to VMware.That's it for now.
erfahren Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 these little utilities can give the hex/rgb color value of an individual pixel on the screen. they can come in handy for web page designers and for graphics work. Color Detector: http://www.cosmin.com/colordetector/Color Cop: http://prall.net/colorcop/featuresColorPic: http://www.iconico.com/colorpic/Instant Eyedropper: http://instant-eyedropper.com/I personally like Color Detector but Color Cop has a stand-alone version. Haven't tried the other two.Also, a recent PCWorld newsletter mentioned GIMPshop: http://plasticbugs.com/?page_id=294has anyone tried it?
Fredledingue Posted October 14, 2007 Posted October 14, 2007 I strongly recommand Total Copyhttp://www.ranvik.net/totalcopy/ Quote Total Copy is a improved version of Windows' copy-function. Here are some of the features: Pause / Resuming : At any time you may pause the copy-prosess, and continue later. Auto-pause on any error : If you run out of diskspace, the network goes down or some other error occur, copying is automaticly paused, and you may resume when the error is sorted out. Resuming on powerfailure : If the computer is turned off during the copyprosess (ex. power-loss or system-crash), Total Copy let's you resume when you restart. Speedlimit : Slows down the copyprosess, and frees resources to other tasks. Faster than Windows : Copies slightly faster than Windows (approx. 10% localy, and 1% on network) Small improvements : Shows copy-speed, a percent-bar and KBytes remaining. Does not modify Windows' own copy-function : This program will not alter the existing windows-copy-function.

It is a wallpaper changer that is actually pretty nice, it is Cardware meaning you are encouraged to send a postcard... And they have a Pro version but they don't nag you about it at all..Caledos Wallpaper

mark Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 (edited) They describe it better than I can: Quote MakeHuman © is completely free, innovative and professional software for the modelling of 3-Dimensional characters. The features that make this software unique are the new tetra-parametric GUI © components and the Natural Pose System ©, for advanced muscular simulation. Using MakeHuman a photorealistic character can be modeled in less than 2 minutes; MakeHuman is released under an Open Source Licence, and is available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Quote LOOXIS, the inventor of the 3D portrait in glass and market leader in this field hasdonated to the MakeHuman project it's sourcecode of "LOOXIS Faceworx", an interestingapplication to quickly and easily model human heads from photos.From a PDF file: Quote <snip>MakeHuman and their application in a new context from the point of view of the relationship between artist and computer. The problem we posed is the development of a valid tool specially designed for the modeling of virtual humans, with a simple yet complete pose system including the simulation of muscular movement. It is a new interfacing idea, different from the common graphic board with thousands of parameters, much easier to use, fast and intuitive.

mark Posted August 9, 2008 Posted August 9, 2008 It's free, it's under 2MB but I don't know how useful it could be (so I didn't put it in the useful thread). Besides, how many print screen programs are there? The developer recommends 'a good graphics card' but it runs fine on my onboard graphics, VIA S3G. Quote Features Accessible through Ptr Scr, Ctrl+Prt Scr, or custom hotkey Captures full screen, rectangle selection, freehand selection, or active window Can capture mouse cursor Supports multiple monitors Allows annotation over capture, with smooth, natural mouse drawing Saves capture straight to desktop or to any file, sends it as email, edits, prints or sends to clipboard Exports as JPG, BMP, or PNG (transparent or opaque) Can re-scale capture before exporting Can pre-fill capture title & comments with window title & browser URLWorks as advertised and found here.(check out the vid to see it at work)He also has an odd way of creating post-it notes for the desktop. Found here.Mark
