Harmony Attaches and Opens Google Docs from Outlook [Downloads]

By admin | Published: March 10, 2010
Windows with Outlook: Sharing a Google Docs file for group collaboration can be a lot more useful than emailing individual copies to an entire team. Harmony makes opening, sharing, and managing Google Docs from inside Outlook a natural fit. The free plug-in opens as a right-hand sidebar when you click its toolbar icon or launch it from your Start menu. Sign into your Google or Apps account, and your documents show up, ready for opening, sharing, or other use. Buttons at the bottom quickly toggle your view between documents, spreadsheets, and other files, and the PDF mode, in particular, might be a help for those who are all too handy at losing the right document at the wrong time. Harmony also sports a similar Sharepoint integration sidebar, though we lack for a Sharepoint server at Lifehacker East. If you've used that feature, or found clever uses for a combined Outlook/GDocs inbox, tell us about it in the comments. Harmony is a free download for Windows systems running Outlook only.

SecondBar Puts a Menu Bar on All Your Mac’s Monitors [Downloads]

By shervin | Published: March 9, 2010
Mac only: Multiple monitors do great things for your desktop space, but your menu bar sticks to one screen. If you're looking for more menu access, free utility SecondBar puts one at the top of each monitor. As veteran Mac users know, each application's menus fill in the menu bar at the top of the desktop, not the window of the app itself, as in a Windows desktop. When you have a lot of apps open in different spots, it becomes inconvenient to access an app's preferences or deeper features with a mouse. SecondBar adds a customizable menu bar to your second, third, or tenth monitor, letting you keep your focus on one screen at a time. SecondBar has all the features of OS X's built-in menu bar, along with being drag-able and having the half-and-half resizing features of Windows 7's Aero Snap . The app is still in its super-early development stage, but it seems stable enough for regular use at the moment, and more features appear in the works. SecondBar is a free download, Mac OS X only. Thanks, Douglas ! SecondBar

Windows 7 Taskbar Thumbnail Customizer Tweaks, Enlarges Your Superbar Thumbnails [Downloads]

By melissa | Published: March 9, 2010
Windows 7: Hailing from the camp of "software that does exactly what its name implies", Windows 7 Taskbar Thumbnail Customizer fine-tunes the size, spacing, and margins of your Windows 7 Superbar previews. If you're unhappy with the size and spacing of application and folder thumbnails on your Superbar (less enthusiastically dubbed the taskbar in some circles), Windows 7 Taskbar Thumbnail Customizer adjusts them. Vertical size, spacing between the icons, and margins on the top and bottom of the icons are among the parameters awaiting your obsessive attention. This application won't change the spacing of icons on the actual bar itself, it alters the size and spacing of the preview thumbnails. See the two images below for comparison. The top is the default settings and the second is with the size of the thumbnail doubled to 400: Don't worry about remembering your initial settings—if you're not happy with your Superbar's new look, hit "Restore Defaults" and everything will return to its default. Have another application or trick for customizing your Windows interface? Let's hear about it in the comments. Thanks Saudrapsmann ! 7 Taskbar Thumbnail Customizer [Deviant Art via #Tips ]
