Krento 1.3 - major release

Image
The new version of Krento 1.3 is available for download from http://www.krento.net This is major update of Krento and I would recommend to uninstall any previously installed version before installing Krento 1.3 You personal data and application rings would stay untouched. This release has new setup with modern look, additional features and accurate work with registry The size of Krento was reduced almost twice even with all new features. The loading of the application rings was improved. Krento keeps applications rings history and can navigate between the rings using context menu or Ctrl + B and Ctrl + F keys (to go back and forward). The registry access was reduced (portable edition does not use registry at all). Also all operations performed now without using Administrator rights even if Krento is running under Administrator account.

Krento 1.2 released

Krento v.1.2 released and available for download. Krento is a simple, good looking 3D application launcher for Windows. Application launchers can speed up your computer experience, but they aren't always pleasant to look at. Krento is not only easy to configure, but it adds some serious 3D eye candy to your desktop, with little impact on resources. Krento runs in the background from the system tray, and can be launched by either right-clicking the icon, clicking your mouse's scroll wheel, hitting Windows + C, or double-clicking a toggled "pulsar"—basically a small, semi-transparent animated icon—in the corner of your screen. To launch a program, just click on its box (or "stone", as Krento calls it). Or, if you don't want to move from the keyboard, you can also hit ctrl + the function key that corresponds to the program. In the above-pictured case, for example, Ctrl + F5 for the Command Prompt. To add programs to the launcher, just drag and drop th...
