Stick

Stick is a lightweight desktop enhancement utility whose purpose is to help you organize the space on your desktop with the aid of multiple tabs. Tabs may help you access a certain folder, take notes, browse on the Internet, and start programs.

You can access the tool via your system tray. A left-click on its icon opens up the configuration panel where you can customize the looks and functionality of each tab, while a right-click allows you to create all sorts of tabs.

A help manual is included in the package in case you want to find out more about the app’s configuration settings.

By default, you can place multiple tabs at the top part of your screen and make use of the drag-and-drop support for moving them to the left or right side. Plus, you can dock them or show their content, and pin the tabs to the left, right or bottom part of the screen.

Stick gives you the possibility to add different types of tabs, such as Calendar, Calculator, News Feed, TaskBar, Navigator, and Notes.

The Calculator lets you perform basic mathematical operations, like addition, subtraction and division, and copy the results to the clipboard, while the Calendar offers support for different view modes.

What’s more, the News Feed is built for grabbing feeds from a user-defined online source. You can make the application delete entries that are no longer in the list with recently downloaded feeds, show text preview, and refresh the information at a custom number of minutes.

TaskBar makes a list with all running programs and lets you gain access to their interface with a single click, while the Navigator can be used for exploring the content of a target location from your computer, showing items with different view modes (details, list, large or small icon), and opening the Explorer location when a file is stored.

Last but not least, the Notes option helps you write personal notes or paste the text from the clipboard, adjust the text in terms of font, size and color, perform searches, and print data.

Stick creates a list with all running tabs and allows you to set up each one by altering the title, theme, transparency, automatic hiding option, and automatic refreshing mode.

All things considered, Stick comes with a useful approach for optimizing the space on your screen and keeps several handy utilities on the desktop for easy access. The intuitive design makes it suitable for rookies and professionals alike.
