WinBubble, Customize and Tweak your Windows Vista Easily


Recommended Posts

Hm, doesn't really seem to do much that you can't do in Vista's own GUI. All I did was change the IE explorer title from "Internet Explorer - provided by Dell" to just "Internet Explorer" and tweaked the ribbons screen saver. Might add the aero on/off right click options though.

woot for you!

haha! Thanks :)

Anyway, Some users want a Detailed documentation of WinBubble... Please wait guys.

Since it is a Dream come True for me... I'm going to share a more advance with complete

Documentations of settings soon.

I'm writing the software for almost two months already during my spare time.

Now, It's time to Share Everything to others.

Please support it soon...

Thanks in advance...

Also, Any suggestions about WinBubble are welcome :)

Hello guys,

I would like to thank Neowin.net for Everything!

"Hey there. I just discovered WinBubble via Paul Thurrott?s SuperSite Blog. What a great program!

I have one feature request: The ?Take Ownership? option only works for files and not for folders or removable drives. Not sure if you can make it work on

folders, but when I receive USB/FireWire hard discs that contain folder directory structures created in XP I can?t work within those folders with proper

privledges until I recursively take ownership of those folders. Being able to do that from the right-click menu would be a HUGE time saver.

Thanks again for writing such a great tool!

-greg"

After this... I will now continue Coding for the Next Extension maybe partner of WinBubbleTweaker For GeekscStay tuned!!!#33;

WinBubble is getting better and better because of the users that always sent email and some useful tips.

I owe this release to them :)

Only one feature came from me, "Create a Restore Point" Context menu which popped out in my head while walking around the crowed.

I'm enjoying writing softwares... It feels like I am writing a book.

Thanks Neo Neowin.Net and Mr Woody!!!

Hey mamee, Thanks! :)

It's very hard to create a program and asking people to help you distribute it.

especially if the Program Doesn't earn money. it's negative...

In the end the USERS are the one that always decide and appreciate your work.

That's what is important to me. I accomplished many things in the University and I really missed that.

That's one of the many reason why I am writing software's for free.

WinBubble and the users makes me happy. again thanks guys :)

History

1. While Creating Blogs about Windows Vista. I was annoyed by writing registry tips and tricks again and again. that's why I created WinBubble.

2. WinBubble was the first program I wrote in .Net, Although I am writing software's already in my spare time, just for fun (Hardware+Software in VB 6.0!)

3. Because of the Help of all the users here, Mr. Woody! and great suggestions, my dream came true. Thanks guys!

4. Because of writing Software's everyday without exercise during the Winter time, I was sent to the hospital and can't walk properly for three weeks.

5. I was hit by a motorcycle because of the Anti-Bug Feature :)

6. WINBUBBLE GOT 1.1MILLION GOOGLE RESULTS IN IT'S PEAK

Again Thanks NEOWIN.NET and to all the users!

Is this a goodbye? nope, if I have time... I'll try to update WinBubble. but not as fast as I did for the past 8 months.

Tweaker For Geeks 1.0? I HOPE SO!

hello guys, I'm very sorry. It's up and running now.

Here's the WinBubble HomePage

I thought I was hacked. It will be a disaster if the page was deleted. It was dead for almost 3-6 hours (I don't know the exact time because I fall asleep). But When I checked it one by one. Luckily the message was not deleted and it was changed to draft.

I don't know why. now, everytime I post a new article, it goes to draft using Windows Live Writer. I'm going to ask someone in the help section of google. Anyway, If anybody knows how to solve the problem??? Please help. Thanks in advance :)

    • KillerPDF 1.5.1 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.5.1 changelog: Performance Save Flattened PDF now uses multiple CPU cores. Page rasterization is parallelized (PNG encoding runs across cores; the PDFium render step stays serialized since the library isn't thread-safe), so large documents flatten significantly faster while the UI stays responsive (#68). Fixed PDFs that failed to open with "Unexpected EOF" now open (#72). The failure was PdfSharpCore's Flate inflater (SharpZipLib) rejecting the FlateDecode cross-reference stream on multi-revision PDFs - files that open fine in browsers, Acrobat, and Foxit. KillerPDF now detects this and re-opens the file losslessly through PDFium, preserving selectable text. Thanks to @javajon for the report and a detailed reproduction. Grid view renders every page. It was capped at the first 26 pages, so longer documents stopped loading partway through. Tiles also stream in progressively now instead of blocking until the whole document is rendered. Grid Ctrl+Scroll no longer reloads every page when the zoom is already at its limit and nothing would change. Removed a stray horizontal scrollbar (a thin green line) that could appear across the bottom of grid view. Files on UNC / network shares (including the WSL \\wsl$ filesystem) are copied locally before opening, avoiding partial-read failures on network filesystems. Changed Minimum zoom lowered from 10% to 5%, so grid view can pack more columns (helpful for wide/landscape pages) and single-page view can zoom out further.
