Caps Lock Indicator

Caps Lock Indicator is a small software application whose purpose is to help you find out if the Caps Lock key is turned on or not.

This utility is suitable especially if your keyboard cannot show the Caps Lock key’s current status due to several problems. Plus, you can also use it in case your keyboard does not come with support for a visual indicator.

The program welcomes you with the configuration panel which looks straightforward and easy to decode. It embeds all settings in a single window so they are basically placed at your fingertips.

By default, Caps Lock Indicator reveals popup notifications at the bottom part of the desktop in the right corner. You can personalize the popups by adjusting the text and background color for both notifications (when the Caps Lock is activated or disabled).

Other important tweaks worth being mentioned enable you to alter the opacity of the messages, automatically hide them after a certain number of seconds, as well as show animations for predefined time.

Caps Lock Indicator gives you the possibility to play preset sound notifications or add a user-defined audio file from your computer, adjust the color of the program’s tray icon when the key is on or off, and show balloon messages in the system tray when the key is active or disabled. You can run the application at Windows startup.

We have tested the tool on Windows 8.1 Pro and noticed that it executes tasks very quickly and without errors. It is not a resource hog so you can keep it running in the background.

All things considered, Caps Lock Indicator makes it easier for you to know the state of the Caps Lock key. It is suitable for rookies and professionals alike, thanks to its intuitive design.
