CrossGL Surface Calculator

One of the core functions of computers was to perform math operations, but hardware components greatly evolved ever since. This is now a common operation, and even Windows provides an advanced calculator. There are also various alternatives like CrossGL Surface Calculator which also put emphasis on visual design.

A major advantage is that the application can be used on the go, saving you the time and effort of going through an installer. This makes it your personal calculator you can carry on a thumb drive and use on other computers without having to worry that the health status is affected, because registry entries remain intact.

As far as the visual design is concerned, the application does a pretty good job at standing out from the crowd, with a neat representation of a pocket calculator. It can be dragged across the desktop, resized, and even rotated. Increasing size makes it just right to use on touch-enabled devices.

Input is either done through the keyboard numpad, or the dedicated set of buttons on the interface. These are fitted with different colors to make identification of functions a lot easier. There’s a settings panel you can access to set window layer priority, whether to use LCD digits, thousands separator, toggle currency mode, and transparency to make it better blend with your desktop.

Unfortunately, there’s more to visuals than actual calculus, because the application is only fitted with basic operators like sum, difference, multiplication, division, and percentage. There’s a memory slot for more comfort, and even an instant currency converter to configure in the settings menu, depending on units of interest.

All things considered, we can state that CrossGL Surface Calculator is a visually appealing application which is sure to convince you to keep it around at least for the pretty design. Even though it’s not fitted with advanced operators, it’s easy enough to use, and can be carried on a thumb drive as a personal calculator.
