ProgramLaunch - Manage Desktop Icons

posted Mar 6, 2011 10:30 PM by Anantha Narayan   [ updated Mar 9, 2011 9:32 PM ]

ProgramLaunch is a simple and easy to use application launchbar for the Windows operating systems. Initially made as a tool to circumvent the annoying start menu, this third generation is completely redesigned from scratch to improve flexibility and performance and make everyday use of the launcher as comfortable as possible.


Managing the launchpad is simple and intuitive. Programs are added either through a dialog or by dragging links from Windows onto the launchpad. Organizing the programs is also done easily by dragging the icons and groups around.

SAN Gear made a Skin

I have made a Wodden - Rose Wood Skin, it may be buggy. It is just Muntzed xml, I did it with one eye closed and one hand tied to my back.

There is a lot of Wooden Chunks thrown around. I did not svn or diff. If you find a error, try correcting it.If i find a bug in skin, i will correct and update new skin here. 

Accessibility of my skin is bad, See it got blended with Desktop Wallpaper. If Locked in place, it gets embedded in desktop, just like my netmeter on right.

Rainlendar - The Flexible Calendar App

posted Jan 9, 2011 9:06 PM by Anantha Narayan   [ updated Jan 13, 2011 7:19 AM ]

Rainlendar supports events and tasks which both are kept in separate lists. This helps you to keep your life better organized and makes it easier to see what are the upcoming things you need to do.

Rainlendar - The Flexible Calendar App

Get notified in advanced before the event is due so that you don't forget your important events. It is also possible to snooze the alarm if you want to get reminded about it later.

Rainlendar is a customizable calendar application which stays out of your way but keeps all your important events and tasks always visible on your desktop.

The look and feel of the calendar can be changed with skins. The application works in all major operating systems: Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.

A useful Idea with Rainlendar....from SAN Gear

Please do not do this on Low RAM systems, at least 1 GB.

I wanted a desktop, always on corkboard or whiteboard; still no solution that fits me.

My needs are free, low ram, low cpu. No way!

At least a compromise for now, I used rainlendar single month view only. Transparent and click through. Large to fill the desktop nearly. That it the best part of this tool, highly Tweakable.

Now i have a Wallpaper Calendar on which i can write my memos. I press shift and click any day. make a To-Do or event. You can make both show using settings. Then it becomes transparent and un-clickable. The desktop shows my month memos.

Thank you Rainy, i am playing with this calendar again after many years. Your calender better than before. It is a Client for Webapps too.

Startup Delayer - Slow and Steady

posted Jun 16, 2010 4:52 AM by Anantha Narayan

Startup Delayer allows you to setup how many seconds after Windows has started, to load each program.

Startup Delayer - Slow and Steady

If you have your mail program and a special clock starting up, then you can make your mail start say 10 seconds after Windows has loaded, and then the special clock start 20 seconds after Windows Starts.

When Windows loads it's Startup file, it attempts to load every program in there at the same time. Therefore if you have quite a lot of programs starting when Windows starts, each program will try and grab CPU time so that it can load.
