NEWCAP Caption Changer 2.0

NEWCAP was developed to replace Program Manager's or Norton Desktop's Caption from "Program Manager" or "Norton Desktop" to whatever you want.  You can also choose to display the time and/or the date.  If you have the time displayed, you can select an hourly chime which can be any wave file you desire.  For best results, load NEWCAP with windows by adding NEWCAP to the LOAD line in WIN.INI.  Version 2.0 includes a "Toolbar" that displays the available system resources, memory and disk space.

NEWCAP was developed by Brian McCarty and is distributed as Shareware.  If you think this program is useful, send $5.00 to:

Caption

A caption is the title of a window.  To replace Program Manager's or Norton Desktop's caption, enter your own text in the caption box.  When you press OK, your text will replace the old caption.  To have your caption displayed whenever you run windows, add NEWCAP to the LOAD line in your WIN.INI file.


Display Time

To display the time in the caption, select this checkbox.  NEWCAP must always be running in order to keep the time correct.  If you close NEWCAP, the time will be removed from the caption.


Display Date

To display the date in the caption, select this checkbox.  The date will be displayed in the format MM/DD/YY.


Hourly Chime

When this checkbox is selected, NEWCAP will chime every hour on the hour.  You must have "Display Time" selected in order to select "Hourly Chime".


Hide when Minimized

You may select your own wave file for the hourly chime.  When you select this option, a file open dialog box appears and you may select any wave file.  If you choose an invalid wave file or if NEWCAP cannot correctly play the wave file, a default beep will be played for the hourly chime.  You must have "Display Time" and "Hourly Chime" selected in order to select "Wave File for Hourly Chime".


System Information Toolbar

You can display a toolbar that display system information if you check this option.  The toolbar displays the available system resources, memory and disk space.  The bar graph that is display displays in green if the space available is 20% or more.  If it is 20% or less than the graph displays in yellow.  If it is 10% or less it displays the graph in red.  If you are running Norton Desktop for Windows, the toolbar displays under the menu.  If you are running Program Manager, the bar graph displays on the top of the screen.  When Norton Desktop or Program Manager is minimized, the toolbar is hidden.

To display the available disk space, you must type in the drive letter you want monitored in the Caption Changer dialog box.  This can be a workstation drive letter or a network drive letter.

Future versions of Caption Changer will let you place the toolbar anywhere on the screen as well as modify the percentages where the graph changes color.
