Simplode Suite - Software for Enhancing User Experience
Simplode Suite is a toolset which lets you do more with your computer. It contains a great variety of features, all in one convenient, consistent, compatible, compact (~5MB) package. In addition to the many free features, you can choose any one premium feature to have for free. If you want to support my work and want more than just the one free choice premium feature, you can buy the product.
It can help you:
- Manage your screen space by tiling with ultimate flexibility.
- Extend battery life / save electricity / reduce heat without sacrificing on-demand performance.
- Wave your hands in the air to control your computer. (Kinect V2 required)
- Use most of your existing apps with a glass-like dynamic styling.
- Experience the futuristic ring menu user interface. (Free)
- Fully customize your experience within the app, including easy theme presets. (Free)
- Quickly find running programs. (Free)
- Quickly open your favorite programs and documents. (Free)
- Move your cursor with higher accuracy and speed. Maybe.
- Resize windows easier.
- Quickly take partial screenshots for reference.
- Figure out where your cursor is hiding.
- Balance your microphone and speaker volume levels in real time.
- Explore ~100 actions, ~30 menus and ~300 configurable settings, all with online and offline documentation, plus extensive video documentation.
Download Simplode Suite
The download is only around 5 megabytes and installs in seconds. From there, you will instantly have access to all of the free features and also receive a 24 hour free trial period on all of the premium features, which can be renewed up to 3 times whenever you want. For now only Windows 10 is supported, but I certainly would like to make the product available for other operating systems in the future. The product may partially work on older versions of Windows, but I do not recommend it at this time.Purchase Simplode Suite

Glass Apps (🖌👻)
The Glass Apps feature will automatically make most windows have varying degrees of transparency depending on a variety of customizeable factors so that you can see through apps that you are not focused on.
Configurables
-
Glass Apps (Default: False)When enabled, causes dynamic transparency in apps based on various configurable factors, including focus, prior focus, mouse position, and application type.
-
Glass Apps Default App Opacity (Default: 0.75)Adjusts the transparency of the windows which are not already affected by another transparency option. Values closer to 1 are less transparent. Values closer to 0 are more transparent.
-
Glass Apps Current App Opacity (Default: 1)Adjusts the transparency of the focused window. Values closer to 1 are less transparent. Values closer to 0 are more transparent.
-
Glass Apps Previous App Opacity (Default: 0.9)Adjusts the transparency of the previously focused window. Values closer to 1 are less transparent. Values closer to 0 are more transparent.
-
Glass Apps Min Opacity (Default: 0.05)This option sets the minimum amount of opacity (the maximum amount of transparency) that the tool will set for any app. This prevents you from accidently making a window entirely invisible which can be tricky to restore.
-
Glass Apps Opaque Mouse Over (Default: True)When enabled, the tool will remove transparency from windows while the mouse cursor is over them.
-
Glass Apps Video Auto Detection (Default: False)If enabled, the tool will try to detect when windows are playing video and apply video specific transparency settings (no transparency by default). Currently this feature only checks for an active audio session, and if found assumes there is video, so it will detect audio only windows as playing video also, and potentially not detect windows that are playing videos with no audio. This is potentially helpful when the window title cannot reliably indicate whether or not you are looking at a video.
-
Glass Apps Video Title Indicators (Default: Vimeo, YouTube, Twitch)If any of these terms are found in the title of a window, it will be considered a video window.
-
Glass Apps Video Title Indicator Exceptions (Default: Pandora, Spotify)If any of these terms are found in the title of a window, it will not be considered a video window. Also, these exceptions will override video auto detection when it is enabled.
-
Glass Apps Current Video App Opacity (Default: 1)Adjusts the transparency of the focused window, overridden when video is detected. Values closer to 1 are less transparent. Values closer to 0 are more transparent.
-
Glass Apps Default Video App Opacity (Default: 1)Adjusts the transparency of the video detected windows which are not already affected by another transparency option. Values closer to 1 are less transparent. Values closer to 0 are more transparent.
-
Start Menu Transparency Adjustments (Default: False)This option can enable or prevent Simplode Suite from making adjustments to the Start Menu's transparency settings. The developer's personal preference is to leave the Start Menu's transparency settings alone for the Glass Apps feature.
