WinTabber: Sheer Brilliance!

This is a quick post for something that I just had to share with everyone. I can’t believe I haven’t come across this BRILLIANT utility until now! Trust me, I look for stuff like that all the time yet still managed to miss it. Allow me to introduce to you: WinTabber! So…what is this thing?

If you have used any browser that has tabs in it for instance (or any application that has tabs), then you’ll love this thing. One of the things I really enjoy when using my Linux machine (yeah…I use Linux too…even have some literature about it) is using Konsole in KDE and having multiple shells in the same window with tabs. Love it! So when I came to fall in love with Powershell, I wanted the same thing. Using something like WinTabber, I can do that now!

With WinTabber, you get an initial window, then you can have it put any application on your desktop in a tab in that window. Here’s a shot of me using it with Putty and FileZilla hosted in it:

I love it :)

Note: This is a shot from my wife’s laptop… I am not using Pink as my border color. Just saying…

Excellent Coding Font for Visual Studio

As I have mentioned before, I tend to change the default color/fonts of Visual Studio pretty quick when I install it. Today, I found a really cool coding font that I instantly set as my default font in Visual Studio. It looks very easy on the eyes and makes my code look sweet (something needs to do that… and it ain’t the quality of it!).

You can read about it and get it from here. This is what it looks like:

Make Visual Studio Pretty!

One of the things that I usually change pretty quickly with Visual Studio is the color scheme for my editor. I can’t stand the white background for some reason. I normally come up with my own scheme, but I just found this site that has some really nice ones. Check it out here.

I am using this one now:

Enjoy!
