Betterbird [53-76 MB] Win 7-11/Linux/macOS

 

Betterbird is an enhanced version of Thunderbird with new features and bug fixes not available in Mozilla Thunderbird.

 

Betterbird looks and feels like Thunderbird, but it's easy to spot the new features available. Many of these features have been requested for over a decade, and some have been attempted and failed. Examples include:

 

Multi-line view like in Outlook, Lotus Notes, and Postbox

Customise the header pane buttons

Complex search terms

Quick Filter untagged messages

Permanently decrypt messages

Global search in encrypted messages

Quick Filter search in encrypted messages

Notification of new messages in newsgroups

Configurable display of addresses in the message list

And more

 

Betterbird can be installed alongside Thunderbird to try it out.

View Image for Chrome and Firefox [Size Varies] Win 7-11/Linux/macOS   Open Source

 

View Image for Chrome and Firefox is a simple Open Source extension to add the "Search by Image" and "View Image" buttons back to the Google images results page.

 

View Image for Chrome and Firefox effectively inserts the old View Image button right to the same location it was before Google removed it. Nothing complex here, just a simple extension to bring back the View Image option.

KillFiles [3 MB] Win 7-11   Freeware

 

There are times when you need to delete a file, and for many different reasons, your system will not allow you to do so. Enter KillFiles; this tiny little app forces the deletion of files. Multiple things can prevent a file from being deleted, such as malware or a failing uninstallation attempt. With KillFiles, the process is simple but powerful, ridding your machine of the target file or files upon reboot.

 

Since KillFiles is portable, it makes it perfect for keeping on a USB stick for deploying no matter where you are.

LilyPond [Size Varies] Win 7-11/Linux/macOS   Freeware Plublic Domain

 

LilyPond is a text-based music engraver; it is more similar to a programming language than a graphical score editing program.

 

LilyPond came about when two musicians wanted to go beyond the soulless look of computer-printed sheet music. Players prefer reading beautiful music, so why couldn't programmers write software to produce elegantly printed parts?

 

The result is a program that creates beautiful sheet music following the best traditions of classical music engraving. It takes care of the details of layout programmatically, allowing composers, transcribers, and publishers to focus on the music instead of improving their software's default output. Performers will get parts that let them concentrate on playing music instead of reading it.
