Synopsis: Free translucent battery meter that floats in a corner of the screen, providing an unobtrusive but easy-to-read graphical battery indicator, as well as an estimate of the time remaining. This was written as a replacement to the standard Windows XP battery meter, which has two major shortcomings: it does not display the time estimate unless the mouse cursor is placed above the system tray icon in the taskbar, and furthermore, that icon has too few states - it looks exactly the same whether the battery status is 30% or 2%.

This program reads a list of Buy/Sell/Dividend/etc transactions from a
file called Transactions.txt, which should be placed in
the same directory as the executable. The syntax of this file is
illustrated by the following sample file
(note: it is a fictitious portfolio, and will
not generate the graph to the left!).
The program should be called as follows:
It will automatically download the required stock/fund quotes from Yahoo, and create the following:

Example data file:
pics.txt.
Execute
pics2shtml 10 10 < pics.txt to obtain this file, which can be
used by Server Side Includes.
- Alt-Tab (Circulate) no longer cycles through windows on all desktops.
- Function "MoveByViewport" added to Feel configuration; moves a window by an entire viewport but maintains the relative position of the window within the viewport.
- Bugfix: Translucency on lowbar and dimensions window (appears during interactive resize/move) is now correct; instead of 100% transparency, this patched version now honors shading.
Note: even though this window manager is half a decade old, I still use it (in 2006) because of its speed and stability.
For example:
[12 ± 1] + [12 ± 1] = [24
± 1.414].
Another example:
sin(1 ± 0.1) = [0.841 ±
0.054].
This program also supports a language that allows one to define variables and functions, and numerically differentiates the functions to calculate errors. See sample sessions here.
