The Art of Multi-Tasking

posted by Cirtex

Some of us were definitely born to rule the computer world. Discovering little programs that help along the way helps too, though. I discovered a little program a while back that I’d like to share with all you Cirtex groupies. It’s called PowerMenu, it came out nearly 4 years ago, and hasn’t been updated in nearly 3 years, but it still does the trick.

This program gives you the multi-tasking king options as follows:

[-] Minimize to Tray - Allowing you to right click on any program window in the task bar and minimize it to the system tray. Need to do something else but keep a program open? Perfect for this use.
[-] Always on Top - When I’m learning stuff about linux command line (never can get enough of that), I often like to put the notepad file I’m saving notes to, always on top mode. It keeps it handy and in view while playing around.
[-] Transparency - I’m not a big buff for this, but I can see how people could find it useful.
[-] Priority - Ever notice how iTunes will skip songs if you don’t have a lot of Ram and are running numerous other programs? This is perfect for that, set the priority to above normal, and no more skipping! I can think of 100’s of other uses for this too.

Check it out!
