I thought this was a bit funny so I figured I should share.  A lot of people have been receiving happy birthday emails from various forums and blogs that they subscribe to.  Why you might ask?  Simply because the default on most forums for your birthday is midnight  GMT January 1st.  So at midnight minus your timezone today it became your birthday!  Blow out your candles and get back to bothering your friends.

Thanks to the users out there a bug was discovered in owexec that didn’t allow parameters to pass correctly when using multiple parameters. After diligent hours of work I have brought you a shiny new version that no longer has this bug.

Further while I was testing it using ArrageByImage I realized ArrageByImage didn’t work in Windows 7 so I took a quick stab at that and now we have a recently updated version of ArrangeByImage all Windows 7 ready.

Enjoy.

So I got to thinking the other day that another potentially nice feature for WindowHider would be a kill switch.  In case of course your boss knows you use WindowHider and comes by looking to see what you are up to, with then intention of double clicking on WindowHider in the task bar and choosing to show the windows.

So ofcource I went ahead and added a kill switch.  Go to the settings page and configure another key combonation, just like you do for the key combo to hide windows.  Then when that key combo is triggered any hidden windows will be closed and so will window hider itself.   Go ahead and download the newest version at the WindowHider page.

Not much more to say, I rushed 1.2 out last night and it was buggy, had a few reports so I am pushing out 1.2.1.  Check it out on ArrangeByImage’ Page.

I had a couple of suggestions passed to me today, one to allow drawing in the picture box area and arrange by the drawing, and two to build a few of the pictures into the executable and allow them to be used via a switch.

So for you folks out there who asked, you shall received, I just uploaded ArrangeByImage 1.2 (download from ArrageByImage Page above) which satisfies both requests.

Three new switches have been added “-heart”, “-star”, “-smiley” that will arrange the icons based on one of those three images that are saved in the executable so no additional picture is required.

Finally, there is now a check box that switches the program from selecting a file to allowing you to draw in the image area.
