CursorUS v1.9

Checker on 6 Aug 2014
  • 32KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on
  • Suggested by Fluffy

CursorUS is a small application that eliminates the boundaries of your screen in the same way that many games do: they "wrap" the mouse over. In other words, move your mouse past the left side of your screen and it'll appear on the right side. Takes plenty getting used to but can be pretty handy. It is very customizable as well.

Don't use this in a multi-monitor environment. When you move your mouse to you 2nd monitor, it wraps & you can't get to it! It's also a major pain to get your task bar to pop-up if you have it on auto-hide. Other then that, it's a cool app.

Wow, this really is a nice app. It let's you really FEEL how small your screen actually is (or how big, if you've got a big screen :')). But that's not a bad thing, because with this app, there are no boundaries around that small screen.

AWSOME!!! it works with ubuntu

Has improved quickly since it's release and now has pretty much all the features that you would expect to find in such a program. The addition of the magnifier and color picker in such a small application is a nice bonus. Can be a very useful tool for website design or any sort of graphics editing. One for the USB drive!

So sweet! I can only say that this program is so sweet, much better than other ruler software and free!

Wonderfully simple and clean, but VERY alpha-stage and buggy. Do NOT recommend.

For me it's useless, as it loses all settings once you exit it.

Addendum.
I've tried the Free Alarm Clock proposed by Midas above, and it's clearly superior, the best of the lot in fact.

Thank you Mr. Hamataro! Nothing to add to it, nothing superfluous. At last i\I've found what I've been looking for.

lemmor on 2012-09-19 18:38

just recently decided to have a software shutdown my laptop at a specified time.. this gem does it perfectly & more.. i love how i can control its appearance. thank you :-)

tomcat on 2014-09-14 17:52

Basically, a good little tool. But there’s room for improvement:

1 Help is written in a language not supported by my OS.
2 Readme contains gems like: “You can make up its face lovely with various options…. Defrost the lzh-file into a reasonable folder.”
3 I could only set one alarm, whereas I’d like at least 2 per day.
4 Some settings aren’t clear to me at first, e.g. “Alarm Mark appears Before xx Minutes”. I shall have to experiment.

PowerMenu v1.5.1

billon on 5 Apr 2017
  • 142KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on
  • Suggested by Andrew Lee

Power Menu adds "Always On Top", "Minimize To Tray", "Priority" and "Transparency" submenus to all top level system menus. It works really well, and replaces a bunch of different utilities that offer these functions separately. You should, however, be aware that when Windows Explorer crashes, Power Menu does not rebuild the system tray icons.
