TRANSLATE

Dear users. Some time ago, accuweather.com stopped providing data in XML format for the gadget. All of your gadgets are showing an Internet connection error. I'm working on it. Unfortunately, with constant air raids and missile strikes on my city (I live in Ukraine), the work is proceeding extremely slowly and I have no confidence that it will ever be completed. Thanks for understanding.

Can anybody help me to translate few my gadgets to other languages (Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, etc.)? If you’re that person, please call me using the contact form.

PC Control overview

Version 2.9 released at 10/15/2022

PC Control

PC Control is a Windows 11 and Windows 10 gadget that aims to make your daily PC routine as easy and smooth as possible. This is a great life hack not only for beginners but even for computer geeks. You can easily access all the power functions for your computer, including shutdown, restart, hibernation, standby, or log off.

The gadget provides two methods of automatic actions: First, you can run a selected command at a user-defined date and time in the future (you can select a specific day and hour). It is also possible to set the gadget to repeat the selected action every day at a specified time after the selected date (the first action will run on a specified day, of course). Second, you can decide a specified time interval (up to 120 minutes with a 15-minute step) starting from the scheduling moment. To prevent damage or data loss, you have the option to set a confirmation prompt before any action is executed.

The main gadget’s frame provides information about the selected auto action and the date and time of the next run. You can also find three buttons: immediately execute the selected action, go to the control panel, and clear the scheduled task. These features make it more convenient to use the gadget.

The PC Control gadget comes with full appearance customization capabilities, as you can easily change the colors of all the elements in the main window, such as the background, the title, date and time, the information string, error messages, etc. Moreover, you can use the gadget in one of two modes: controls only or standard mode. In the first case, the date and time settings are not used. The Gadget works on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
