	TL Stickers  License: Freeware
	TL Stickers are transparent notes that can be sticked to your desktop. Unlike other software of such sort, TL Stickers occupies minimum of screen space and almost does not prevent you from working in windows behind them. You can create as much text boxes as required of various sizes, fonts, colors and transparency. This looks like text is being written by markers on the screen. Important event, bright idea, reminder can be recorded immediately and will stay on screen until you delete it. TL sticker captures the focus only when mouse cursor points precisely to the lines of sticker text. But when cursor is between or inside sticker characters - you are interacting with the underlying window. And, moreover : the transparency of font and background can be adjusted to any degree. Under such approach, stickers reminds but does not disturb you when you are busy. And, this is not all. You can mark TL sticker as "escaping". This means that sticker will shift aside from mouse cursor automatically, and get back when mouse is out. This way you do not need to move sticker in order to access the program you are working in (editor, browser, IDE, email client, etc.), but you still see the sticker in front. Using escaping mode together with transparency guarantees the optimal cohabitation of stickers and other programs in your system. TL Stickers stores all notes with their state and position between working sessions on your PC. By including this program into system "Startup", you will never forget things that you have recorded.

Install and uninstall support using SetupSeeThruClock.exe. If using Zip file install, delete program folder to uninstall. Configuration allows changing Clear, Background, Fill, and Frame Colors. Set the Clear color, then setting any of the other colors to the Clear color will make that color appear transparent, meaning disappear. Font name for Day/Date display may be changed as needed. SeeThruClock is quite cpu intensive especially when the clock size is large. You can avoid this by turning the Seconds Hand off and then the update only happens every minute.

Every time you save a file it is copied to your backup folder or drive. You can include and exclude certain files and browse the backups with the Backup Explorer. Great for backing up (or one way syncronising) your work or home documents to flash memory or saving every change you make to your source code or image files. Features:   * Select any number of separate folders or folder trees (including sub folders) to watch for changes - each folder tree has its own independent settings   * Select straight backup or versioning mode   * Select any folder or drive to backup to (including memory sticks)   * Optionally create an initial backup before the automatic backup starts and ensure it is current on every startup   * Restrict which files and folders to include and exclude (by file mask) & maximum size   * Change the versioning datetime stamp format (and you can use this to restrict the rate of which the versions are stored)   * Optionally zip or delete old versions after a specified time   * Optionally delete backup files on original file deletion   * Fault tolerance in case your backup folder/drive goes off line or source files are locked. USB & Firewire drives sync'ed when they come online   * MS Office, Visual Studio plus many others supported (temp file creation, delete then rename is treated as original file change)   * Backup file & version explorer included   * Open backups or file versions directly (file extensions are preserved) or via inbuilt explorer   * Compare file versions (using customisable external application)   * Restore file versions via inbuilt explorer or manually   * Runs discretely in the Windows System Tray.
