by on
1
It is almost impossible to overemphasize the importance and usefulness of Activator. It plays an essential role in the working of many Cydia items, and the latest to benefit from the gesture control tweak is RapidLinks. This new Cydia tweak allows users to create a list of their favorite URLs, which can then be accessed from anywhere in iOS by simply performing a selected Activator gesture. This means you don’t have to launch Safari, tap the address bar and then key in the address of your favorite websites; you just have to use the designated gesture to access them all from one place. This functionality is pretty similar to the Add to Home screen feature in Safari, but the RapidLinks tweak can prove to be more useful than that as you don't have to create separate entries for single URLs, and in addition to that, the gesture control supported by the tweak makes the whole thing more accessible and streamlined, in addition to keeping your Springboard uncluttered. Head past the break to learn all about this time-saving and useful Cydia tweak. Read More

Little features of Microsoft Windows, such as the right-click context menu, increase productivity without the user ever even noticing. Imagine the time it would take for you to access all the features included in the context menu by navigating to different dialog boxes and windows. The context menu allows you to use different features of the operating system by providing you with item-related options. For instance, if you right-click your desktop, you will have a different set of options than what you will get when you right-click, say, an image file. This way, the context menu doesn’t get cluttered with all unrelated options. We have covered several context menu tools that let you increase the utility of desktop and Windows Explorer context menus. Today, we have a similar portable software, named 7CMenuEditor.INC, which allows you to add custom application shortcuts and URL’s to the desktop context menu.
