DeskAngel

DeskAngel is a software application that enables you to customize your operating system by providing you with a pack of practical tools, such as screen clipping, automatic scrolling, and window locking.

It features approachable options that can be tackled with ease, even by those less experienced with OS enhancement software.

Installing this utility takes minimal time and effort, since there are no unfamiliar options, mandatory software products, or third-party components involved.

Once launched, DeskAngel gets integrated into the systray and silently runs in the background while letting you carry on with your normal PC activity without any interruptions. It facilitates quick access to its options via the right-click menu.

It's possible to roll up and automatically close windows, simulate the Win key, adjust the window transparency, make a frame stay on top of other windows, disable IME for windows, enable watermarks, hide the cursor while typing, view window information, turn off the monitor, or hibernate the PC.

The screen clipping module gives you the possibility to draw custom regions and save them as local image files. Worth noting is that the effects are instantly applied to the machine, so there's no need to apply modifications by clicking on buttons.

It worked smoothly in our tests, without causing the operating system to hang, crash or prompt errors. We haven't come across any stability issues. It used a low amount of CPU and RAM to function normally, so it didn't put a strain on the computer's performance or interfere with the runtime of other processes. The app has a pretty decent response time to commands.

On the other hand, DeskAngel hasn't been updated for a pretty long time and it's likely that you'll come across compatibility issues on newer Windows models. Nevertheless, you can test it for yourself, especially since it's freeware.
