Shortcuts 1.01 - Shortcuts is a shareware utility that lets you add
buttons to the status bar of the Notepad that act as shortcuts to the built-in as well as
other applications. Shortcuts is a little on the large size (roughly 60K after
installation) and therefore can be loaded into either internal memory or onto a storage
card. If at all possible try to load it into the internal memory. Start Shortcuts by
opening it in the Extras Drawer. Then all you need to do is tap and drag buttons to the
status bar. There is a How Do I? button that will give you online help about using
Shortcuts. In the near future I'm going to make the popup for the packages picker use a
smaller font so those of you with a large number of packages installed will be able to see
them.
Start
Bar installs a small task bar at the bottom of your Newton's screen, below the button bar.
This bar lets you quickly switch between open tasks on your Newton, plus give you access
to frequently used apps and system functions. Tapping and holding on items in StartBar
will open up a menu allowing you to perform tasks on those items.Start Bar is
customizable, allowing you to set the height of the bar, label the Go button, and allows
you to set up a list of applications that will appear in the Go popup menu. 30 day
shareware. Credit: Stand Alone Software.
StatusBar Buttons 2.0 - StatusBar Buttons is a single Newton applet
which places (up to) seven buttons in the status bar at the bottom of the Newton's note
pad application. Each of these buttons serve a distinct and useful function, and generally
make the Newton a better place to live. You may select which buttons to display as
appropriate for your unique needs. StatusBar Buttons is a "persistent" applet.
When installed, the buttons appear immediately. When the Newton is reset, the buttons
reinstall themselves. They're always there, ready to serve. Buttons installed - Bullet,
quickstyle, exclaim! (punctuation), keys, ink sizer, words/letters and prefs shortcut.
Read the docs to find out more.
TapBar 1.1 - is a multi-purpose button manager. You can think about
TapBar as a Newton version of Macintosh's Control Strip. With it, you can set up button
bars made up of your favorite selection in your own order and layout. The bar can be
shrunk and make it compact when you don't need it. TapBar also allows you to add buttons
into status bar of Notes (or your selected backdrop applet). You can make multiple bars,
and each bar has its own setting of button set. For instance, you may have a bar named
"Preferences Bar" which has only preferences related buttons such as backlight
control or system volume. You can do your task quickly and easily if buttons with same
theme are in one group. The appearence of each bar can be set deferently. This may help
you to distinguish with them. TapBar itself is just an interface to other buttons, that
will be made by other developers, freeware authers, or even you.
TapBar Customizer 1.0 - This applet install additional option panel into
Bar Settings. For instance, you can change detail settings of the bar's shape. See TapBar
SDK 1.0 for the full development packages. Requires TapBar to work. TapBar is a
multi-purpose, FreeWare button management utility.
TapNew 1.4 - is the first Newton-Application in a row of tools for your
OS < 2.0 which gives you 2.0 like features. TapNew installs a 2.0 like button for easy
creation of a new note, adress, meeting. TapNew provides also some other features of the
new Newton OS 2.0! So watch out! If you have installed AddressAccess from Thorsten Lange
with Version > 1.54 on your Newton, TapNew has a new Item in its Popup to open the
AA-Cardeditor. TapNew is $10 ShareWare.
