Feature Requests

Please do not email me with any feature requests for this particular program. Most of the features available in this program are due to the modifications made to the default 7-ZIP SFX module by Oleg Scherbakov. Please contact the author if you have any feature requests. If you are good in C++ you can download the source code for the original 7-ZIP SFX module and implement the features yourself (since the 7-zip project is open-source).

If you have any suggestions for the GUI then you are welcome to email me or leave a comment on my blog.

Important

This program uses Resource Hacker to change the SFX icon. There are some re-distribution restrictions with ResourceHacker so I can’t include it in this package. Download ResHack.zip from the following link, un-zip it and copy ResHacker.exe to the application folder.

My rainmeter skin

I made my first Rainmeter skin a few months ago. Its a simple skin with large fonts. This skin uses the Calibri font so please make sure you have this font, otherwise the skin will look ugly.

Rainmeter is a popular system monitoring application. It displays the time, date, CPU usage, RAM usage and other statistics on your desktop. It can be downloaded from here. Rainmeter uses very low system resources compared to dozens of similar programs available on the internet.

To install the skin simply unpack the zip file to the skins folder and restart Rainmeter. After that right-click on the tray icon, select Configs -> TG and select one or more items.

This is another simple theme for dual-core CPUs. The two graphs show the load on each core of the CPU and the value on top is the total CPU usage (average of both cores).
