Hibernate

Hibernate is a simple-to-use widget that supplies users with direct access to the Hibernate power management function of Windows, through a button on the desktop. It can be easily installed and set up.

The interface of the program is represented by a small frame that you can move to any position on the screen, with the help of the mouse cursor.

Hovering the mouse cursor over the hibernate button highlights it in blue, and pressing it automatically triggers Windows' Hibernate power management function.

Unfortunately, the widget does not integrate any other options. Nevertheless, thanks to the default settings provided by the operating system, you can open the right-click menu to make the frame stay on top of any other frames, as well as to set its opacity to a predefined value, ranging between 20% and 100%.

The small tool is not a concern to the computer's overall performance, as Hibernate runs on a very low quantity of CPU and system memory. It has a good response time and didn't cause Windows to hang, crash or pop up error dialogs throughout our evaluation. Thanks to its overall simplicity, first-time users should have no problems in learning how to use Hibernate.
