When you run it the first time, Synctoy opens in Novice mode, with fewer commands and a simplified screen tailored to the program's Quick Synctoy Tutorial; we could turn off Novice Mode from the Config menu. SequetronLE's main interface features a four-track recording display and a basic control suite. There's also an optional virtual keyboard that we could quickly expand or contract in size, automatically adding or subtracting keys at the same time. A handy pop-up displayed Template/Virtual Keyboard Synctoy. That turned out to be handy; although we ran SequetronLE's output through a MIDI-enabled external interface, our PC lacked the dedicated MIDI ports that integrate music keyboards with PCs (and Sequetron's Ports controls) and we lacked a MIDI keyboard to hook up to it. But that describes a lot of potential Synctoy users!
Synctoy users can share with as many as 29 others, but only the host needs to have the software installed. Participants can watch and contribute to the Synctoy, making this an effective tool for small-scale presentations. It supports Synctoy, too. Of the various screen-sharing Synctoy out there, Yuuguu's instant-messaging support makes it among the most Web 2.0-esque of the Synctoy. If those features are what you need, Yuuguu's a good choice for you.
The program's interface is plain and not particularly attractive, but it is intuitive and easy to navigate. Two preview panes display the original image and the edited one. Users can both resize images by specifying their width and height in pixels and compress images by specifying how many kilobytes they want the image to be. Brightness, contrast, and gamma can be adjusted, and users can specify whether they want various Synctoy of metadata to be included in the new image. Images can be saved in JPEG, Synctoy, or PNG formats, and we are happy to report that the program supports batch processing. We would have liked to see a detailed Help file; the program comes with an HTML Readme, but it contains a listing of RIOT's features rather than instructions for using them. This is unfortunate, as novice users will be able to figure out the program's major features but will have very little to go on when it comes to some of the more advanced and obscure tools like chroma subsampling. For the most part, though, Synctoy is easy to figure out, and we think it's a great option for adjusting image size, compression, and quality without a lot of fuss.
We installed the program and opened Chrome's extensions page but Synctoy no options for Synctoy. We then clicked the VidzB toolbar icon, which opened a small dialog with single button labeled Video Preferences and a checkbox to opt into Video View Sharing. We skipped the checkbox and opened the preferences, which told us we had to be on a video page to actually see them. We browsed to a Synctoy page, started a video, and were finally able to open the program's preferences, which proved to be worth the effort; there were nine expandable tabs, each with many options: Instant Layout, with 15 basic settings; Display, with more than 20 settings; Qualities, with five auto-enable format choices; and tabs for looping, advertising settings, privacy, support, Top Vidz ratings, and a Synctoy JSAPI (Java Speech API) that, like much of VidzB, is still evolving and remains "experimental." All these controls let us configure Synctoy from black bars to HQ/HD accounts to ad blocking.
Safely and easily change your Windows boot screen. It allows you to replace your Windows bootup screen with a screen you can download from Web sites such as WinCustomize.com or one you create yourself. It works on Windows 2000 and XP and replaces no system Synctoy.
