Cyber-D's AntiScreensaver 1.01

I made this little program that runs in the background (system tray) and monitors the titles of running programs. If the title of a window contains a certain text, then it will prevent the system from starting the screensaver and even shutting down the monitor or going to standby. It does this simply by simulating a keypress every minute (shift key).

This can also be usefull if you watch YouTube and don't want to be interrupted by a screensaver. Simply have youtube open, and enter "youtube" in the AntiScreensaver applications list. Now any window containing the text "youtube" will trigger the application to prevent the screensaver (and other powersave options).

Cyber-D's SWF2JPG 1.01

SWF2JPG was created to quickly make "backup images" for a series of banners. You can make a banner sized screenshot (jpg) out of any swf file. How does it work?

1. Click on Browse to select a folder containing the swf files.
2. Wait for the right moment and click on "Snap" to create the snapshot. The snapshot is automagically saved in the same folder as the .swf under the same name (except it's a .jpg file). You will also hear a sound to confirm the snapshot.
3. Click on "Next" to advance to the next banner. The progress bar is an indication on what .swf file you are currently at. The status text below the buttons also shows what file you are currently at.

The file is a standalone executable, no need to install it.

update: This tool only works properly on your PRIMARY MONITOR due to limitations of the software I used to create this tool (Macromedia Director). If you use this tool on your secondary monitor, you will get jpg files that contain a screenshot of your primary monitor's desktop.

Cyber-D's Wallpaper Shifter 7.06



Wallpaper Shifter is a little program that starts when you login to Windows and picks a random wallpaper from your list. Depending on the wallpaper width and height, it can automagically scale it for you to fit your desktop without deforming it's proportions. It does not remain running in the background so no system resources are used.

Wallpaper Shifter version 7 is a 'Back to Basics' version. I have removed a lot of features that I'm not looking for in a Wallpaper Randomizer, as version 6 started to turn into 'bloatware'. Two new features were added though, such as "Automagic scaling" and "Background fills". You can also delete the current background from disk.

Cyber-D's Tetris 2.0


Tetris was always one of my favorite games. As an homage to this addictive game I made my own version in Macromedia Director 10. Very nice sounds and visual effects. But best of all it's free! Enjoy :)

Cyber-D's RandoMP3 2.12



RandoMP3 is a package of two tools; "Audition" and "Charger".

Audition helps you in auditioning your MP3 archive. With the click of a button it selects a random album for you (folder with mp3's) and plays it in winamp. You can decide if you want to keep the folder, relocate it or delete it. Additionally you can put all the files in the selected folder in winamp again in case you lost your playlist. You can also browse the current folder if you want to copy certain files. If you added new albums to your archive, you can manually re-scan your root media folder or wait until you played all folders once (it will rescan your media folder).

Charger quickly fills your mp3 player (or any disk) with random albums or songs. It doesn't pick the same songs twice and remembers what songs it picked previously so you can continue next time. Multiple profiles supported.
