Fonty aims to make it easier to select fonts for use in art projects, presentations, documents, etc.

  • View fonts that are installed on the system or font files in some other folder. Filter the view, search for a font by name. Fonty displays a quick index of links so you can navigate quickly through 'pages' of fonts.
  • Create collections of fonts and save the collection as a list or copy the font files into the collection.
  • Perform the normal install or uninstall. Or you can temporarily activate fonts for the current session only (until you log out or restart your computer). This means you can use fonts temporarily without having to install them (installing lots of fonts can cause your computer to be slow).

Timer

The timer can count up from a time in the past or count down towards a time in the future.

The timer's appearance and the format of the time (and text) is very configurable. You can hide it's border, it's background, set the color and glow effects.

Sound Recorder

This is a simple recorder that records directly to an MP3 file. Recording can be paused and resumed.

The recording window has a compact mode and can be set to stay on top of other windows, so it can be out of the way, yet still visible.

When done recording, you can playback the recording or upload the file to an FTP site.

RocketDock with multiple bars\docks

Submitted by drew on

It seems there is plenty of interest about how to make RocketDock work with two or more docks or bars. Most answers say to use additional docking programs--one for each dock you want. Or use a commercial program that offers multiple docks. I think RocketDock is excellent except I want more than one. I finally figured out how to do it!
