You get the missing Windows 7 functions as a download in the Windows 7 toolbox as a familiarization gift. Includes the step-by-step instructions from the Windows consultant. They show you how to upgrade your Windows XP function by function and bring it to the current Windows 7 standard.
With the Windows 7 tool “Aero Peek” you make all active windows transparent with 1 click. You have free view of desktop and sidebar – and at the same time access to all icons. Another click on an icon and the windows become visible again in the original form.
The “Atomic Alarm Clock” provides you with the exact time of the second. Appointments, meetings, birthdays, doctor’s visits … everything that is important is now under control. The reminder function will inform you in time.
The “Atomic Alarm Clock” gives your taskbar a completely new face. And you determine what it should look like. Just choose from the different designs.
Another special feature: With the “Atomic alarm clock“You can start any program timed or turn your PC on or off for seconds.”
The “desk timer” is the next tool to make your Windows XP more comfortable. The appointment and task planner can also be displayed as a background on the Windows desktop.
Then you always have all dates and events in view.
Play it safe if you set important appointments with an alarm, which then automatically reminds you.
With the software ‘Notes Light’ create the little yellow reminder notes, which you probably also know. But you no longer need to glue these to your monitor – they are in electronic form on your desktop.
Here, too, you can assign an alarm to the individual note tablets on request, which reminds you of important appointments.
The tool also has a print function for the individual notes.
The optics and design of Windows 7 can be reached with 2 special tools: “Seven Remix” transforms your old Windows XP into the new Windows 7 with just a few clicks.
A slightly higher effort when installing requires the “SevenVG” tool. The similarity to Windows 7 is incomparable and worth the higher effort all the time.
What “Seven Remix” and “SevenVG” cannot do, creates “ViGlance”. This also gets you the Windows 7 typical taskbar on your desktop.
Apart from the great look, the “Superbar”, as the new taskbar is also called, has new functions: As soon as you drive your mouse over a process icon, a menu opens that shows the corresponding applications or windows.
Unlike previous versions of Windows, you can now exchange the individual process icons as you wish.
With ‘Desktop Plus“Make perfect order on your Windows desktop.” Thematically related links are meaningfully put together in groups.
So your desktop is always clear and clean. Without a long search, you will immediately find the desired link.
For important information that you always want to keep in view, simply create „Tables“ on your desktop.
With ‘Desktop Plus“ In addition to normal shortcuts from the desktop and folders as well as files from the Windows Explorer, you now also manage Internet addresses:
• 1 click is enough to open a folder or file. Shutdown, restart and log off are also done with just 1 click.
• The groups and the associated windows are stored both user-specific (login name) and resolution-specific.
• Text color and text background you define as desired – if you want, also transparent.
• Texts and symbols of the groups can be faded in or out individually.
• The representation (images) is freely definable for each group. You can easily and precisely align the groups on your desktop with the help of an adjustable grid.
