Of course, any application can be moved…
- Weather Alarm Clock 1.2. Whatever-In-Tray — The Windows «system notifications area», a.k.a. «system tray», was eventually designed to be a uniform place for helpful information. However, in fact, it’s not very useful now; only a couple of colorful icons not related to the system make it look pretty.

- NAntBuilder 1.1, Handy Cover for Handy Tool — The make tool was cool. But this «was» is twenty years old. Today’s programmers don’t cherish the old make not because they are dumb, but because they live in the new time with a new mind and new habits.

These are casual games, which have…
