XdN Tweaker is a free tweaking program for Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista. It sets itself apart from the other tweak programs though by not being filled with options, settings, and "tweaks" that are actually normal options and menu settings of other programs. It tries to fill the gaps that other tweak programs overlook. Instead of just being another way of doing something you could do yourself just by clicking on "options" or "settings" in Windows, it offers features that Windows normally wouldn't allow you to do without digging into the system registry. Depending on if you run the program under Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Vista, different options will be available to you (works with 32-bit and 64-bit Windows).

you know what, that is a very interesting point. i've never ran 120dpi on my system.
i'll see what i can do.
so far, i've had very little input on the program.
edit: when i get home tonight, i'll change some of the AutoSize stuff and practice on a system set to 120dpi. i just set a system at work to 120dpi, and the program becomes unusable.

ok, it's updated now and supports 120dpi.
my XdN Directions program was updated as well with 120dpi support.

Excellent, I will be trying it out now, thanks!
But yea, it's a shame, a lot of developers (especially indie developers) overlook 120dpi settings... Transcode 360 is yet another example.
Oh, and is there a possibility to alter the 'menu delay' option so that i can input my own or offer choices in increments of 5ms/10ms? (i usually set it at 40ms, that seems to work best with the speed of my...well, whatever determines these things, any faster i end up drifting off the menu, any slower i lose my patience, yes, i lose my patience in ms.)
i'm currently looking into ways to do that now.
there are other programs, (like CCleaner) that already do a great job of system cleanup.
