From full transparency to full opacity and everything in between. Use it whenever you need to be able to see the content of windows underneath the active window. You can drag to a target window or select the window you want from the program’s drop down menu to start applying transparency.

Chaos Crystal’s users have let us know about some of the ways they use it. It can be used to organize windows, improve productivity, hide windows, or just have fun with transparent effects. Chaos Crystal is free to use and runs directly so it does not need to be installed.

We use it for the latter for every program we release by listing it right on the program’s main page.

MD5 is rather handy and can be used as a way to identify files. Seemingly similar files for instance can be differentiated. Suppose you have many files with the same name and file type, you can identify which ones are actually different and which ones are merely copies by comparing the MD5 checksums. This handy application allows you to generate MD5 hashes for any files. It runs on Windows and doesn’t require installation to run. It even runs off of a USB memory stick.

They have a very through review of Chaos Wallpaper along with a list of feature requests. Lifehacker also picked up the news about our wallpaper/rss program and some astute users noted that while we don’t officially support Vista, it does run just fine as long as the program is set to run as an administrator. That setting is found via Vista’s compatibility tab. Another user also mentioned that our program runs smoothly without hogging system resources for their 8,000 plus wallpapers. Thanks, with every program we do, we take this into consideration. Convenience and scalability are a couple of major factors we always consider.

Chaos Wallpaper is free to use. It is a Windows wallpaper changer that also displays RSS/ATOM feeds on your desktop. You can customize it to only include the feeds you want. You can also modify the RSS display as you see fit if you know a bit of CSS.
