Display Changer X
Display Changer X is a powerful and user-friendly application that makes it easy to manage your computer’s display settings. With its intuitive interface, Display Changer X is a great choice for a quick and easy way to switch between multiple display configurations, including different resolutions and refresh rates, as well as more advanced features. Whether you’re a gamer looking to optimize your display for fast-paced action, or a video editor who needs to switch between different display setups, Display Changer X has you covered.
Display Changer X is also perfect for organizations that need to configure their employees’ computers. The configuration files created by Display Changer X on one machine can be copied to other machines with the same model of monitors.
Display Changer X saves your display configurations to their own files (.DCX), and you switch between them by just double-clicking (or invoking from the command line) the configuration file you want to apply. This saves you time and hassle, as you won’t have to manually change your display settings every time you switch between different activities. You can also place a shortcut to a DCX configuration file in your Windows Startup folder to apply a specific configuration when you log in.

Enterprise deployments of Windows frequently suffer from corruption of the built-in Windows Calculator app. Enterprises also often disable the Microsoft Store. In those cases, companies can use on-line or off-line licensing for Calculate X. If your company needs a different solution, please contact Sales to arrange volume pricing and distribution.

Typecast
Typecast displays a list of the television shows you want so you don’t have to crawl through an endless grid of channels. Typecast uses your custom searches and the television listings for your area to find the programs you want to watch instead of a seemingly endless sea of junk. Whether you’re a serious TV viewer who DVRs and time-shifts everything or a casual viewer who watches TV before bed, Typecast finds what you’re looking for.
Typecast displays only programs that match your searches, from recent PG action/adventure movies during primetime with closed-captioning rated four or more stars to soccer matches between the Chicago Fire and the New England Revolution to new, HD episodes of Saturday Night Live with Whoopi Goldberg or Will Ferrell. No more wading through Paid Programming and reruns of Project Runway (unless that’s what you’re looking for). 🙂
Click “Get it from Microsoft” to see Typecast in the Microsoft Store. (If you are using an older version that was not published in the Store, you can uninstall it.)
If you use Windows Media Center, Typecast can communicate with WMC and display which programs have been recorded and which are scheduled to be recorded. You can also use Typecast to schedule programs to record on your WMC. (If you used Ceton’s abandoned My Media Center application, this makes a great replacement.)

Timekeeper 1.62.4
Display the date and time on your taskbar in any format and color (including transparent). Get rid of that tiny, useless Windows clock. Pop up a calendar when you need one. Resize it to show as many or as few months as you want. Move Timekeeper around and it’ll remember its position and size, or not—your choice).
(I have released Timekeeper as open source on GitHub. Contributions are welcome, especially a fix for the display issues on Windows 10.)
