0 Mutex Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 The only free, skinable calculator I know of: link. You can download more skins from customize.org if you so choose.

Hi, rah2, thanks for responding. :) I've seen that one, but unfortunately it doesn't have a tape window. Beautiful Calculator does, but it (stupidly) uses a bitmap image to draw its numbers, so you can't select and copy any of the results. There's a few calcs with tape windows out there, but so far they've all been butt-ugly, imo. Still looking...

0 primexx Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 whats a tape window? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/479459-skinnable-calculator-with-tape-window/#findComment-587717899 Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 luckyme632k Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 @primexx : it's a window that displays a history of your calculations, like the physical roll of paper "tape" in an adding machine. Karen's Calculator is a really good freeware example. My only complaint is that it's a *huge* window. The developer could easily have made it half the size (that screenshot is actual size). Still, it's a great app. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/479459-skinnable-calculator-with-tape-window/#findComment-587718264 Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 crimsonhead Posted July 20, 2006 Share Posted July 20, 2006 You or someone could just compile a smaller version. It's open source. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/479459-skinnable-calculator-with-tape-window/#findComment-587718278 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, it's a great app. I personally use Microsoft PowerToy Calculator, though it is not skinnable, it correctly utilizes Windows Themes. Or optionally you can use Microsoft Calculator Plus, which is skinnable but not having history window. Both have screenshots on the attachments, have a look.

0 luckyme632k Posted July 20, 2006 Author Share Posted July 20, 2006 I just installed Microsoft PowerToy Calculator. Pretty good, but in typical Microsoft fashion there's no friggin' decimal button on the keypad. I'd say "wtf", but it's a Microsoft product so what's the point?
