Mike @e-Sushi:

I like the changes in MiniBin 6.1.01, but
I would like to know how to define full, 75% 50% and 25%.
It's possible to change the settings?
I deleted a file of only 6 Mb and MiniBin went to Full!!
The settings of "full" are very low now!!
Best Regards

Great app. I like playing with desktop customization. Sometimes windows title bar just goes off the screen especially when I move the taskbar to the top of the screeen, and I can't move the window at all. This app really helps much.

I like KDE Mover-Sizer more. It is written in autohotkey and you can change the code - for example, I added a shortcut for keeping the active window on top of the others.

Overlap Wallpaper v2.5.0 Updated

webfork on 10 May 2013

Overlap Wallpaper displays a photo on the desktop wallpaper so that one can have for example the photo of a loved one on different wallpaper image. The overlapped photo can be sized, positioned on desktop as required, and made semi-transparent.

PNG image photos with transparent colors are supported. Photos can be reloaded after a set time, allowing for example the use of another program to overwrite previous image file and auto-display it.

System Requirements: WinXP / Vista / Win7

Stealth: ? Yes
License: Freeware
How to extract: Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch Overlap Wallpaper.exe.
What's new? - New INI setting, hide tray icon (1=hide, 0=show), changes to be made directly in the ini file.
- Running the exe again, does not prompt the user but auto reloads the photo.

With the settings below this acts like a wallpaper changer, though you will lose desktop icons while running in this way.
[Settings]
photo file name=carina.jpg
photo width=1,280
photo height=-1
photo transparency=255
photo position x=0
photo position y=0

Couldn't the author just name it correctly?
Its just a desktop picture gadget, a poor one.
