iCalcy 2.0 Released!

Sat, 03 Jul 2010 01:39:53 +0000

Hi Everyone,

We've just released a huge update to iCalcy - 2.0!

The code has been entirely rewritten, and it includes fully updated graphics, icons, and now includes scientific functions. An all-new settings screen (with the iPhone interface) is included, as well as updating functionality, button hover effects, a new navigation bar, and the 'selected' effect on operation buttons.

Enjoy!

Can't wait!

On the Paintribbon Complete page,you know the picture?Well,you know the thing where it says "Buy now ($9.99)" and "Download (FREE Ad supported)" What does it mean when you say "Ad supported"? Does that mean that if you get the free version,it will have ads?Because I am confused.

Thanks.

Cannot remove Paint Ribbon

Sun, 23 May 2010 15:33:56 +0000

I downloaded the trial version to my desktop (vista) and now it says that I do not have permission to remove it! UGH! Any help?

My start menu is hidden...

Sun, 16 May 2010 04:55:39 +0000

Taskbar Eliminator also hides start menu icon. I tried pressing my windows key to fix the problem but the start menu appears and the start menu icon is still invisible. I tried clicking in that area to see if it is truly invisible but it is removed altogether. If you have any ideas on how to make this helpful program work that would be great.

Start Menu Resizer

Fri, 30 Apr 2010 23:39:46 +0000

Has anyone been able to shorten the height of Windows 7 Start Menu without having to patch and install a new theme?

I believe this would be a great tweak or tool to have that Microsoft left out of Win 7.

If you know how to do this or can make a tool or explain a tweak it would be greatly appreciated.

If not could you please suggest where I can request such a tool or tweak?

Thanks Allot

taskbar part of screen not usable

Tue, 13 Apr 2010 18:29:58 +0000

In my W7 64 setup taskbar gets hidden when autohide is turned off (as I want this). The resulting empty screen is not usable. Maximized windows stay the same size. An empty part of the desktop shows.

New Version?

Thu, 08 Apr 2010 00:40:45 +0000

Its been ages since a new version of iCalcy has been released, when is it coming!

The invisible bit is FINALLY gone!

Thu, 08 Apr 2010 00:39:57 +0000

2.8 has FINALLY gotten ridden of the stupid little invisible gap at the bottom of the screen.

Nice work guys!

Proper Mobile Recognition?

Thu, 08 Apr 2010 00:34:56 +0000

Will iPad Drift be recognised as a genuine iPad by browsers like iPhone Drift? I really need to test my pages for the iPad!

Can't Wait

Thu, 08 Apr 2010 00:33:46 +0000

I'm really excited for iPad Drift, can't wait to convince my friends AGAIN that I've got an iPad on the desktop (i managed it with iphone drift :D).

How to rotate?

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:36:16 +0000

I find on option to rotate the page orientation. would you please told me how to do that.

Drop-Shadow in webapp?

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:35:08 +0000

Just testing it, and the browser part does not render a webapp properly.
I'm using the examples from the book "building iphone apps" from O'reilly, and when the CSS is changed to render a drop shadow from the title, and add a gradient, it is not shown…

Nice Design

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:33:59 +0000

Hello, very nice design, but it is not what i was expecting, what i see throught the browser is the same than trought Internet explorer.
And it not what supposed to hapen, should be redirecte to light page.
I wanted to use it to test my website but it is usless…
i Have an iPhone so i can see the diffrence.
If someone know something else ?
I am not looking for something Fancy, but something that can help to build website cross browser.
Thank you.

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:33:15 +0000

Looks Freakin Awesome

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:32:43 +0000

Not detecting mobile sites?

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:31:48 +0000

Not automatically detecting mobile and/or iPhone versions of sites; Am I missing something? For example browsing to www.cnn.com would open its regular page not mobile version.

Looks GREAT!

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:26:36 +0000

hi there. i haven't used this TE yet, but i've so far heard/read nothing but great things about it. i've been getting used to the happy days of rocket dock this past month, and so of course have been sniffing around (more extensively) for some way (that actually works) of eliminating the taskbar. this one seems to get the highest marks, for basic functionality and user support, so i'm looking forward to using it, if for nothing more than curiosity to see its design in action.

i still require the system tray quite frequently, so i've taken to just moving my taskbar over to the right side of my screen, auto-hiding it, and keeping rocket dock auto-hidden on the bottom. happy days. works beautifully for my purposes, but i fully understand the desire and pursuit of getting rid of the taskbar altogether.

the reason i've gotten into all this auto-hide stuff is because over the past couple months i've discovered the joy of using firefox in fullscreen mode. with rocket dock available but out-of-sight on the bottom, my address bar and search enging bar along with bookmarks toolbar and tabs bar (if more than one) all auto-hidden, every inch (pixel) on my screen is dedicated to my surfing. it's absolute bliss. (especially when you stumble upon sights like the homepage for Alvaro Puentes Photography — stumbled across it last night, while in fullscreen, and actually gasped. simple black and white photo, but uninterrupted by anything else on the screen. wonderful.)

the reason i'm mentioning all this is: when firefox is in fullscreen mode, the taskbar is nowhere to be found. now, maybe it's a fluke of my system setup (FF 3.5.5, xp sp3, etc), but no matter what the taskbar is set to (auto-hide, normal, locked or unlocked), as long as firefox is the active application and in fullscreen mode, i can't access or bring up the taskbar unless i use the windows key to pop up the start menu. (very much like the desired functionality of this "working" and other, let's say "imitation" taskbar eliminators.)

not that i don't appreciate the development of such a useful tool — as do several others, judging by the positive comments here and on the old KaneBT site — but i just wanted to mention, since i haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else, that, if firefox has this kind of "power" to 'disable' the taskbar completely while active in fullscreen, surely there must be some basic little toggle in the explorer shell to allow for this. and hey, what do i know, maybe that's the very toggle that this handy little TE app here exploits/uses/impliments.

either way, keep up the great work. you're obviously making a lot of people's dreams come true.
just wanted to throw my 2 cents in.

Possible hot CORNER?

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:25:14 +0000

Could you make the Eliminator toggle autohide as well? T functionality I want is:

Drift over a corner, taskbar and Start button appears (with autohide Off), drift back over the corner, it eliminates (including the Start button, so with autohide On).

I've cobbled together a few individual tools to do that fairly simple thing and it woks very well.

But to do it, I have to use your Eliminator, another little tool called toggleTaskbarAutohide.exe, Autohotkeys to trigger them both, and another little app called Hot Corners2 to trigger it with a corner drift.

As I said, it works without a hitch, but not a very elegant setup. Could you get at least the autohide part integrated into the Eliminator? Or may the whole fuctionality?

Command Line Exit?

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:22:04 +0000

i don't use the hotkey approach as much as i like to toggle the status of the taskbar. would you consider adding a command line option to quit the program after execution, rather than having it running in the background?

so then we could run Taskbar Eliminator, it would toggle the status (if currently hidden, change to show; and vice versa). then the program quits automatically (without having to go to the preferences and clicking "exit").

cheers :)

A different key combo?

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:20:58 +0000

works perfectly! :)

one question though, is there a way i could assign another key or key combination (i.e. alt+F12) to launch the start menu instead of the windows button?

thanks,
ryan

Pefect! Autohide is history!

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:20:07 +0000

Thank you for your Taskbar-Eliminator. It is the first tool that is working perfectly with Windows Vista Ultimate 64 Bit and ObjectDock! The nerv-wrecking "auto-hided-taskbar-comes-back-every-mouseclick" is history! Great work!

I LOVE the orb effect!!

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:19:04 +0000

Hi I'm using windows 7. When I enable the eliminator, everything works fine but then when I press the windows key the orb shows up by itself. I'm actually fine with that. As a matter of fact it looks great. But the thing is when I tried this the next day the orb was on top of all the windows that were open. Is this a bug to begin with that I'm finding useful? If it's not then how do I prevent the windows orb from being "always on top".

Thanks!

Taskbar Reshows?

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:17:11 +0000

Hi, I have Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 2. Taskbar Eliminator does exactly what I want it to do and I love the simplistic preferences, however the program only completely hides my taskbar for a few minutes. I have the program set to "Hide Taskbar"+"Start with Windows", but I constantly have to keep pressing alt+t to hide the taskbar again and again. It's probably my own fault but am I actually doing something wrong, or how can I fix this? I do love this program and it works better than all the other programs like it that I have used.

Windows 7?

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:16:15 +0000

Will Taskbar Eliminator work with Windows 7?

How to hide start menu too?

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:14:54 +0000

Hi, i havnt tried yet, but from what i read, i also agree it would be nice to remove the start menue to..
also, this would only be worthwhile to me, if it closes after doing its task, so it waste no ram after the task bar is minimized, and a re-run of the program, could fix the task bar (or ofc a keystroke a user asigns). athough the best results, would be if your program was a 1time run, that simply changed the registry, to allow the bar to be pushed all the way down, when resized, but thats also the hardest ;)

Uninstall it?

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:12:10 +0000

I like this app actually. Buy I installed it on my father's notebook and he doesn't care for it. I expected it to be easy to remove- but so far I haven't been able to. I tried add/remove programs under control panel (oh yeah, this is xp ) had no luck there, didn't see it in program files, etc. I need to get the program off and everything back as it was as fast as possible actually. This issue has probably been covered somewhere in this forum- but I haven't found it so far.
If you could help me simply remove the program and get things back to normal so to speak as fast as possible- I would surely still recommend the app to others. I know many people who use rocket or object dock and would love to go ahead and remove the bar instead of keeping it on autohide.
I really could use help from someone asap on this one..he needs to use this notebook for work and I've done the one thing I promise him I will never do when using his computer…install something I can't easily remove.

Show interface without shortcut?

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:10:33 +0000

Hey,
I use your awesome programme for a few weeks now and I´m
really happy. Just one thing bothers me:
is ist possible to launch the programm interface with a
shortcut and not with "ctrl.-alt-T"?

Thanks,
Leon

Great!

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:09:31 +0000

great little program. Perfect when I'm watching videos in VLC in fullscreen and want to get rid of the taskbar.

Thanks

CMD?

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:08:48 +0000

Hello

It's possible to start/install Taskbar Eliminator with a command line ?
Thanks,

Remove popups!!!

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:06:56 +0000

Can you please get rid of the dialog shown after clicking "Show Taskbar"? We can see the taskbar is back, we don't need to be told it's there, let alone press another pointless "ok" button. The branding on the main panel should be sufficient advertising.

An option to simply restore the taskbar and close the program without any dialog would be even better if you're feeling really nice (perhaps something like ctrl+alt+shift+t).

Hid start menu too?

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:06:23 +0000

Hello
Your tool hid my start menu too, which I don't want. I am using Xp and have applied a custom theme. Any ideas?

Command Line Options?

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:05:18 +0000

When I run Taskbar twice it tells me that I should look in the docs for #Startonce command line option. The only problem is that the Zip file had no doc file. So what are the command line options for TaskBar?

Nice job.

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:04:11 +0000

Hi guys,

nice job with the app…i do have one issue. I use styles to skin my taskbar and explorer windows and after Eliminator is applied and I use the Win key for the start menu, it leaves a line on top (where the top of the start menu was) after the menu is turned off…not a huge problem because I have to re-apply the wallpaper to get rid of this thin line….
any ideas….

Eliminate Earlier?

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:03:25 +0000

Hi,
I'm trying to hide the task bar so that it will not show up at all after login.
When I call the Taskbar Eliminator from a logon script or add it to the automatically started programs, there're still a few seconds after logon where I can see the task bar.
Any idea how can the taskbar be eliminated earlier?
Thanks.

Love it! How do I uninstall?

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:02:06 +0000

Hi I installed the taskbar remover and it works perfectly except for the start menu is still there. how can i remove it??

Works Great!

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:01:16 +0000

hi, i am using your tool with the windows 7 beta.
its working perfectly fine, but how do i get to see the interface of the application to unhide the taskbar ?

i read in another thread that alt+t will do the trick, but unfortunately in my case it won't

thanks

No startup?

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 23:00:11 +0000

i cant manage to load this file on startup everytime windows 7 loads it still shows the autohide taskbar or the taskbar if not set on autohide… ive got the exe file in the startup folder and also clicked on the option to load at startup… any ideas?

Hi! Is there any video of EdgeSwap in action? Or at least, is it uninstall-able? :)

Too Fast!

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 22:46:54 +0000

Hi, using XP, if only 2 windows open , it switches too quickly….Even 3 is a bit quick. Maybe have an adjustable setting….Thx…Jeff

Useful!

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 22:46:09 +0000

This actually makes task-switching a whole lot easier and faster. Nice labs product!

Great Work!

Wed, 07 Apr 2010 22:41:34 +0000

Hi!

I'm a user of Windows XP, and like many other people, I hate it's GUI.
I'm currently customizing my system to be like Windows 7, and unfortunately one thing you can never change is the quality, imagination and feel of free applications.

I must commend your work on PaintRibbon! Despite the fact that the program is still in an early stage,
the responsiveness and reliability is top-notch.

I'm extremely excited about the future of PaintRibbon, it could mark the start of high-quality, fully functional and beautiful free apps.

Personally, PaintRibbon will soon be an excellent for the outdated MSPaint of XP And Vista.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

-Chris-

Wordpad_ribbon

You Can't Create Wordpad Ribbon for Vista and XP???

Can we work together?

Sun, 13 Sep 2009 22:37:07 +0000

Hi, I'm a program developer, like you. I'm going to cut the chase, I have tried everything I can think of, I can not figure out how to make a theme for my program to look like the new windows programs for Windows 7. I was hoping you and your team could help me by allowing me to use the theme you used for Paint Ribbon, or by pointing me in the right direction.

I would highly appreciate it, if you think we could make this work somehow please let me know. You can contact me at ccr05@live.com.

Thank you,

Taskbar Eliminator for Terminal Services or Citrix

Fri, 20 Mar 2009 14:40:39 +0000

I need a way to prevent terminal services users from accessing the taskbar in any way. They should run the single program that they are authorized to run at login but not be able to do anything else. Not even Ctrl-Alt-T to bring up your program. Having your eliminator in their login script/batch just prior to executing their authorized program would be great. I need this to comply with my security audit. As an old coder myself I'm very impressed with your work.
