Launchers: Stick 2.8

Stick is a Windows application (Windows XP/Vista/Windows7 only) which offers utilities such as folder explorers, web browsers and notepads in tabs that attach to the sides of your screen (called ScreenTabs). ScreenTabs are super customizable tab-shaped windows that let you access the aforementioned utilities quickly and easily.

ScreenTabs
ScreenTabs are customizable windows that are shaped like file folders. They attach to the sides of your screen and can be easily expanded or collapsed. ScreenTabs are the foundation of Stick and are the container in which all the useful utilities can be found.

HotKeys
Quickly access individual tabs no matter which application you happen to be using.

Navigator Tab
Tabs can be created that show the contents of folders. These mini-explorer windows provide true explorer context menu access for folders and files as well as full drag/drop support.

Note Tab
Enter richly formatted or plain text notes into note tabs. Each note tab is associated with a text file of your choice anywhere on disk. It offers basic word processing functions but more readily available than your average word processor.

Internet Tab
You can browse the web using internet tabs. These tabs offer the rudimentary function you expect from a web browser but with the convenience of being readily available in a screen tab. These are great for sites that you frequent throughout the day like weather, traffic, news, etc.

Tab Manager
The tab manager is your control panel for Stick. Create,delete,edit tabs on the fly. Tabs are very customizable with the ability to have their font, colors, slide behavior, transparency and more changed quickly and easily. Save groups of settings as templates and apply them to other tabs with the press of a button.
