Ejection

Ejection is a lightweight widget whose sole purpose it to provide you direct access to ejecting or loading the CD tray of your computer. You can do this from the desktop or sidebar with the simple click of a button.

This application can come in handy to users who frequently work with multimedia applications and insert numerous CDs and DVDs into the computer on a day-to-day basis.

After a brief installation procedure that does not require any special attention from the user, you can check out the small frame that resembles an Eject button; you can move it to any position on the screen, with the help of the mouse cursor.

Clicking any point on the frame either ejects or loads the CD tray. Unfortunately, Ejection does not integrate any configuration settings of its own.

But, thanks to the default options provided by the operating system, you can open the right-click menu to make some adjustments. You can make the frame stay on top of other windows, as well as set its opacity level to a predefined value, ranging between 20% and 100%.

Ejection is very light on the system resources, as it requires only a small amount of CPU and system memory. It has a good response time and works smoothly, without making the operating system hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. Too bad it has not been updated for a very long time. Nevertheless, thanks to its intuitive layout and overall simplicity, Ejection should please the entire audience.
