Game Overlay
$24.95 - GameOverlay.com

Game Overlay helps get back some of the multi-tasking functionality lost when playing full-screen games.

It allows you view and interact with windows outside the game, but without "Alt-Tabbing" and requiring the game to reinitialize its graphics. It does this by actually rendering the window inside the game!


For example, it could be used in the following ways...

Keep up with the conversation...
Overlay your instant messenger and communication programs!

Know who's currently talking...
Overlay the GUI for external voice applications such as TeamSpeak or Ventrilo.

Never miss an incoming e-mail...
Overlay a semi-transparent e-mail client over the game!

Forget about writing down or printing cheat codes...
Simply copy and paste them into Notepad, then overlay it!

Keep one eye on your computer stats...
Run a utility in the background checking temperatures, download speeds, etc, then overlay it!


Game Overlay works with Direct3D, OpenGL, and DirectDraw games and applications.


BladeBox builds virtual encrypted disks

BladeBox eXtreme
$49.95 - Liveye

BladeBox creates virtual encrypted volumes, which are AES-ENCRYPTED files which can be mounted as if they were disk drives (with their own drive letter too). Virtual Encrypted Volumes (VEV) are seen and considered by the operating system as if they were actual volumes (drives), they have a drive letter, a volume name, and you can see them inside your My Computer resources and inside the Windows Explorer. BUT actually they are transparently encrypted files on disk. Every time you write or read data to those volumes, the data buffer is transparently encrypted/decrypted on-the-fly. The key concept for security is that data on disk ALWAYS remain encrypted. Volumes can be automatically unmounted after XX (user-defined) minutes of inactivity or they can be quickly and silently unmounted by pressing the proper hot-key (special combination of keys). BladeBox eXtreme integrates a powerful hiding engine to completely hide the container file and a robust application firewall to define which programs must be able to access each virtual disk. And most of all the size of virtual disks can be DYNAMIC: No more wasted space on your hard disk!


TweakWindow - more Windows choices!

TweakWindow
$21 - AbsoluteWay

Even though TweakWindow has many analogs currently available for download on the Internet, no other window enhancement utility comes close to TweakWindow in terms of usability and number of features offered. In addition to standard features, like hiding a window or making it topmost or transparent, TweakWindow offers unique capabilities, like an option to change a window's icon or title so that no one can just come over and see what program you are running. One-click window minimization to the system tray is a great option for software applications that are automatically launched upon startup (like MS Outlook) but aren't currently used. To maximize a window, simply click the application icon in the system tray. Another popular option not available in many window enhancement tools is a rollup feature that rolls the window up or down, leaving visible only its titlebar. Window ghosting is a feature that makes a window topmost and semi-transparent (users can adjust the transparency level themselves). All clicks will go through that window to the one located beneath, but the ghost window can still be closed, minimized, maximized and resized. Only a ghost window's title bar reacts to mouse clicks. This is a great feature when you are running an application that you don't want others to see, but don't like hiding it entirely and need to be able access it immediately, when necessary. All these window manipulations can be done easily in one of three ways. First, you can use the buttons that the program adds to windows (this option can be turned on or off). Second, you can manipulate the windows through the window system menu. Finally, you can assign your own hotkeys that will trigger an action by simply pressing a combination of keys. The program is extremely easy to download, set up and use. It requires absolutely no special skills or knowledge. And since TweakWindow is 100% FREE to download and try, you can start using it right now!
