ButtonOff is a simple Free software which started as an experiment in transparent forms and bitmaps with buttons.

Here's how it works:
Installation requires you unzip the small executable software to any directory. You might create a shortcut to your desktop. When you run the software you will usually see this blue button in a white box with an arrow to the right. On occasion it is invisible upon execution but if you "right click" in the very center of your screen, the button will appear.

Right Click just outside the button in the white area or where the white area and the arrow should be and the following Popup menu appears:

Hide: makes the white form transparent and the button will disappear. If you "right click" where the button was it will reappear. {Left Clicking should be reserved only for Launching an application.} The five positions move the button around the screen. There is also a Help option (not shown above) which displays this document. The isolated visible button will look like this (below) and right clicking outside and to the right will get the Popup Menu (above).

The Application selection calls this form: Simply select an executable file and click Done. At this point a file will be created in the software directory (Button.ini) which houses the executable and its path. If you click done without selecting an software or if you hadn't selected one initially the following will be displayed when you "left click" the button:

The button will disappear when your software appears but it is still running. To end the program, right click and select exit. Thus you can have hidden buttons on your screen which can launch your programs.

The button can be associated with any software (.exe) and will launch it . If you install it in 5 separate directories you can associate 5 programs at once at 5 locations by running it 5 times and repositioning it. I may expand the software to more colorful buttons and easier positioning options.

The license of this software is Freeware, you can free download and free use this desktop utility software.
