Leave a comment
You probably have your one favorite media player that you use for both audio and video files. If you’re a Mac user, that media player might just be iTunes or QuickTime. Both are exceptional, feature-rich apps, but imagine getting bit by a radioactive spider, sprouting an extra pair of eyes and being able to watch four videos at once. Even if that doesn’t happen, you might feel you need to watch several videos at once either for research or educational purposes (or, perhaps, just because you can). QTSpaces is a free Mac app built for just such purposes. It allows you to play four videos at once, switch to single video view, create playlists, and switch to fullscreen mode with each four of the videos taking up a quarter of the screen. Read More

Icons allow you to easily differentiate file types and applications from each other by giving you a different visual for every application. Changing file icons through changing the theme is always risky, since it might modify some important and sensitive Windows' files, which can result in some system file getting corrupted. Usually, people keep the default theme offered by Windows and do not make a lot of change to the visuals, but other like to customize every aspect of their operating system in order to have a more personalized feel. If you are one of those people who regularly change their themes and icon packs, but are not satisfied with some of the icons, give Thumbico a try.

You can use it to experiment with icons using features like resizing and converting to use the ones that fit both your mood and the application. Keep reading to find out more about Thumbico.

We have covered tools to help you extract HEX and RGB values of colors from images, for instance, both Pictures to Color and Color Finder provide HEX value extraction and a lot more.

2D to 3D transition opened up a new gate in the graphics designing pipeline. Not only does 3D models save a lot of prototyping and designing costs, but also let graphics designers bring various imaginations to life. 3D models have become so mainstream now that they are used in quite every field. From designing a house to modelling a car. Back in December of 2011, we covered Sweet Home 3D, an open source interior design application that lets you design a complete home and place furniture on a 2D plane, with a real-time 3D preview. The application surely was quite feature-laden and one of the best of its kind. However, if you have already got a 3D model, and only want to view it, you can use view3dscene.
