Auto-Hiding Taskbar in Windows 10 Tablet Mode

Although there is an existing paid-app that automatically hides the taskbar in tablet mode, I wished for more functionalities. In particular, I want the taskbar to hide in landscape mode where vertical space is precious, but not in portrait mode where there is plenty of vertical space. I ended up writing a little application to get what I need.

Features of the application:

  • Auto-hide taskbar can be turned on or off independently for each combination of tablet mode and screen orientation.
  • Install for all users.
  • Free and open source.

The application can be downloaded here: http://ticoneva.com/software/

PowerPoint Multi-Display Setting Fix

PowerPoint係簡報開始時會轉成extend screen,但完結後就唔會轉返轉頭。唔想咁樣,可以點樣?
If you find PowerPoint 2013’s habit of changing multi-display setting without changing back annoying. How to fix this issue?

入registry更改以下設定:
Change the following registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\PowerPoint\Options]
“RestoreTopology”=dword:00000001

If you do not like editing registry yoyurself, you can create a file that fix the issue for you:

好些男網民在網上表達不滿,說今屆港姐不漂亮云云。我想說,抵你地啦,平時大義凜然說罷看CCTVB,現在人家觀眾投票選了個不合你們心水的,你憑甚麼投訴?

認真的,無線的觀眾組成相比十多二十年前的確變了很多。無線以往由評審員選出勝利者還不是那麼明顯,但像今次港姐這樣100%由觀眾投票選出則會完全反映出來。記得中學時亞視《我和殭屍有個約會2》大結局和港姐決賽是同一天播出,結果是選擇睇殭屍的人多過睇港姐的。大家可以想像一下港姐還有甚麼人在看,而他 / 她們心目中的理想港姐又是否要是模特兒級的靚女一名?

我個人的預測是,若港姐繼續保持由觀眾選出港姐三甲,不久將來相信有會有以下的港姐候選人:

正職老師候選人:「我想同我4D班嘅同學講,我地學校雖然唔係乜名校,但Miss都選到港姐,你地努力讀書,都一定可以出人頭地!」
正職社工候選人:「我今次參賽係想同天水圍青少年中心嘅一班青少年講,姑娘無懷疑過自己,你地都唔好放棄自己!」
正職醫生候選人:「我想同我腫瘤科嘅院友講,你地個個都比我靚!我地一齊奮鬥到底!」

今屆港姐是一個香江勵志故事:冠亞軍都是同一傳統名校出身,家長從事教育工作,自小悉心裁培。這個故事也教訓我城的小朋友和少女們,不論你的理想是做醫生還選港姐,都要讀好書、入名校。
