Stiletto

Stiletto is intended for people who want a button bar task switcher/launcher and clock/calendar which always stays at the same place on the desktop and which lets them use any mouse button to run a command.

Stiletto is a simple tool that include alarms, task scheduling, sounds control, and wallpaper control: it handles all your desktop needs using a single consistent but unobtrusive interface.

Here are some key features of "Stiletto":

￭ A small-footprint button bar launcher (e.g. fits over title bar of maximized window). ￭ Use of any mouse button to launch commands. ￭ Drag and drop files to start commands. ￭ Up to 50 user-configurable command launch menus with submenus. ￭ Attach launch menu to button bar, desktop, title bar, or all three. ￭ Multiple button bars (through multiple instances and configurations). ￭ Floating button bar, choice of many resolution-independent standard positions, or place in active window caption. ￭ Direct access to program manager or other desktop shell groups and their commands. ￭ Hot key and screen corner activation of commands. ￭ Switch to or close any active task, from a button bar or a menu. ￭ Make any active task or launch any command as always on top. ￭ Text label, icon, clock, date, timer, or resource display on any button. ￭ Built-in commands for drag and drop file rename, windows exit/restart, browsing and running files (with history), moving the button bar, playing sounds, and others. ￭ Control of Caps Lock/Shift and Scroll Lock. ￭ Support for file associations. ￭ Alarms, regular chimes, and scheduled activation/termination of commands. ￭ Wallpaper display and switcher/randomizer. ￭ Assignment of sound to application events. ￭ Randomization and testing of system and application sounds. ￭ Random noise making by playing sounds sporadically as specified. ￭ Day-to-day shell replacement. ￭ Send a sequence of keys to a running program or to a program that you start with Stiletto ￭ Flyover (balloon) help to display the commands for any button.

Since it does not have the ability to add or change program manager icons or groups, Stiletto is not intended to completely replace Program Manager or another Windows shell that you are using, such as Norton Desktop for Windows (as specified by shell= in your system.ini file).

Instead, Stiletto is intended to provide quick, minimal-mouse click access to your most used commands while taking up little desktop space, and to provide utilities related to Windows start-up and time, all in one consistent package.
