I recently started using 2 monitors reguraly, and ofcourse find windows lacking, specificaly the lack of systray on second monitor. i find nextart systray a good replacement , but i would like to have just systray active. there is an option to hide nextart taskbar and detach tasklist and systray, but is there a way to hide the tasklist too and leave just systray open? if there is i cant find it

EDIT: FOUND IT, UNDER TASKLISK SETTINGS: HIDE TASKLIST, obvious kinda

Right-click Winstep's Taskbar, click Preferences (alternatively, the Preferences can be opened with CTRL-F12), and then:

  1. Switch to the tab named Taskbar
  2. Click the Tasklist Settings button
  3. Click the first checkbox which says, "Hide the tasklist"

ShareX, an open-source project that gets very regular updates and has a ton of features. It's extremely configurable. For example, when I invoke a capture mode and complete the capture (some of my modes grab a region which I select with the mouse, some just grab the active window or the whole screen immediately), it brings up a menu with different options on it.

That menu is completely configurable by you to perform whatever after-tasks you'd like to do. Here's the Edit Menu window that allows me to edit the menu you see above.

Image

It comes with its own basic image editor (that's the "Annotate" option in my menu) which is how I do the numbered steps. It even does animated captures of a region of the screen.

Here is the main context menu from right-clicking the icon in the SysTray and the capture menu flying out to the left:
