This works in conjunction with the WL Calendar Gadget. The gadget sits on your desktop like any other gadget and lists events that you have set up in your Windows Live or Google calendar (or other iCal feeds). The Reminder program adds an icon next to your clock. It adds the ability for reminders to pop up on your desktop, which you can snooze to remind you again later, if you want.

The author of the gadget has his own reminder program. His pops up an individual window for each reminder. I don't remember if it had a way to snooze. Whereas mine shown multiple reminders in a single window. Mine also restarts when Windows starts and can therefore remind you again if you have something snoozed.

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!
