System Control 1.0 Gadget
Posted in Development, Gadget Stuff, News & Updates
Seems like it’s been a while since anything went on around here, but trust me, we’ve been cranking on some stuff you’re really going to like.
First up on that list is this little gem, the System Control gadget. Basically, with so many shutdown gadgets floating around on the gallery, we figured we’d take a shot at it and see what we could come up with.
Features:
- 9 Different Function Buttons (Shutdown, Restart, Lock, Switch User, Task Manager, StandBy, Run, LogOff, and Command Prompt)
- 10 Different Skins (Might Seem Like A Small Number Until You See…)
- 2 Different Sizes (Small Holds 3 Buttons Per Screen, Large Holds All 9)
- Buttons Can Be Re-Organized, Disabled / Enabled
- In-Gadget Confirmation for Shutdown, Restart, StandBy, and LogOff
- Lock Button To Disable The Panel
- Bottom Text (Can Be Set To: 3 Different Time Formats, Date, Overall CPU Usage, Overall RAM Usage, Nothing)
- Pretty Sweet Settings Panel
- Persistent Settings (Via XML!)
Yeah, we like it. We hope you’ll like it too. There may be upgrades in the future, we’ll have to see.
Download:
Download @ Windows Live Gallery
Download @ Download.com (Coming Soon)
Enjoy!

IT NEEDS HIBERNATE!

Is Standby the same as “Sleep” on Vista?
If not, which button is?Cheers,

September 4th, 2007 at 10:36 amOkay, so I was wrong. StandBy isn’t Hibernate, but not every Vista install has Hibernate. Probably why I didn’t see it initially.
However, SyandBy does seem to occupy the same space as Sleep. It pretty much does the smae thing (the difference between Hibernate and Sleep is that Hibernate actually powers off versus Sleep which uses low amounts of power).
So for the moment, use the StandBy button for Sleep and we’ll be working on figuring out a way to get everything to play nice with each other. Whether it comes down to clarifying buttons or adding in some new buttons is still up for debate.
