Hawkeye ShellInit is a small, scriptable application that

* Creates any number of margins on the screen that maximized windows wont cover (much like the taskbar). In these margins, you can put applications that you always want visible, for instance Winamp, SysMeter, console, chat window, or whatever.
* Runs applications so it can timely position them or make them transparent.
* Positions and resizes windows based on window caption or classname. This makes it simple to place the applications you want in the margin area. (Windows has a tendency to move windows out of the margin area because it's trying to reserve that space for the appbar (toolbar) that it thinks is there.)
* Makes windows transparent based on window caption or classname. Any level between 0 (totally transparent) and 255 (totally visible) can be used. Only available in 2k and XP.
* Toggles windows "always on top".
* Doesn't require you to keep it running after you run the script.

Vital Desktop is a desktop animation utility, a program designed to bring a fresh new look to your desktop. Never again will you be faced with the same static background every time.

The prime purpose of the KatMouse utility is to enhance the functionality of mice with a scroll wheel, offering 'universal' scrolling: moving the mouse wheel will scroll the window directly beneath the mouse cursor (not the one with the keyboard focus, which is default on Windows OSes). This is a major increase in the usefullness of the mouse wheel.

Another feature involves the wheel button. Since the wheel button is not consistently used in Windows, KatMouse can use it for a kind of task switching: with a click of the wheel button you can push a window to the buttom of the stack of windows that is your desktop, making a recovered window the active window.
