This is a calculator that is similar to the XP PowerToy calculator, but with additional features.

  • Conversion mode: Easily convert between different types of units, say inches to centimeters or teaspoons to tablespoons.
  • Expressions mode: Enter an arbitrary number of expressions and then a formula at the bottom that uses the expressions to produce output. This makes it easy to change the values of the inputs without having to rewrite the whole formula. For example (this is the pythagorean theorum): 
   Expr1=    1
   Expr2=    2
   Formula:  Sqrt(Expr1^2 + Expr2^2)
  • The entry can accept variable assignments and use them in the calculation. Example: a=1; b=2; a + b + a^2 + b^2 outputs 8
  • When entering a calculation, the immediate result is displayed at the bottom. When you hit enter, the entry and the result are added to the history, so you don't lose previous work.
  • Results can be in decimals, hexadecimals, or binary. Numbers can also be entered in these using prefixes of "0x" for hex or "0b" for binary.
  • Results are formatted for easy reading, by grouping digits. For example: 10000+1/128 outputs 10,000. 007 812 5

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!
