Piano

Piano is a Yahoo! gadget that places a small piano on the screen which can be moved to any area of the desktop.

It comes in handy for all users who want to improve their piano skills or simply want to animate their screen activity.

The gadget sports a simple interface that allows users to create musical compositions by using the mouse. Hence, it doesn’t offer keyboard support.

This is a simple-to-use gadget that doesn’t come packed with advanced features, as it doesn’t allow users to save the musical compositions to a file.

Since it doesn’t comprise any configuration settings of its own, even rookies can master the process with just a few clicks.

Other options offered by the Yahoo! environment give you the possibility to prevent the window from being dragged, set the opacity level, and ignore mouse events. You can also make the program stay on top of other applications, and this proves to pretty useful, especially when dealing with multiple tools at the same time.

During our testing we have noticed that the widget carries out a task quickly, and no errors showed up throughout the entire process.

As it would be expected from such a small utility, it manages to remain light on the system resources, so it doesn’t burden the overall performance of the computer, nor interfere with other programs’ functionality.

To sum things up, Piano offers a simple software solution when it comes to enhancing your desktop activity. It can be easily installed and configured by all types of users, regardless of their experience level.
