Customization

7+ Taskbar Tweaker

ClickMonitorDDC

Disable constrast and volume systray icons

• Open the settings via rightclick in the systray on one of the number icons.
• Disable the volume and contrast systray icons

Everything

• General -> UI: Full row select (easier to match up date/size with selected item)
• General -> View: Show row mouseover

Listary

2xCtrl brings up the Listary overlay by default. This interacts poorly with IntelliJ's "Run Anything" (2xCtrl), neither overlay will be shown.

Adding IntelliJ to the ignored applications in Listary doesn't help, it only disables list view hooks, from what I can tell, 2xCtrl is global irrespective of the application being used.

Solution: Disable Ctrl shortcut and use dedicated "Show Listary Toolbar" shortcut.

ShareX

Disable screenshot sound

Task Settings -> General -> Play sound...

Disable uploads globally

Application Settings -> Advanced -> Upload: DisableUpload: True

SmartGit
