SkinCalc
|
SkinCalc is a free skinnable calculator with more than 100 different skins available for download. Skins make it possible to change the layout and functionality of the software.
SkinCalc is brought to you by the folks at Cloanto, who also enjoy doing some artistic work and being part of a creative community. Our human (?) egos like to show off excellence in program design, which is not always easily recognized, especially when applied to back-end servers. But even this part of the world turns upside down sometimes, and we succumb to the orders of some very fine skin artist (or very demanding user).
So SkinCalc is a way for us to have some fun on the more popular side of software, interacting with a public of free-spirited friends and making bold claims like "first skinnable calculator" and "first skinnable software with translucency effects"
The current version of the calculator engine was designed to be a fully skinnable software which can totally replace the Windows system calculator operating in Standard mode, with the addition of certain advanced features not available in the system calculator.
Calculator Functions
The calculator has a variety of built-in functions which can be used to configure the user interface for custom needs.
The following functions are available in the default configuration (as in the "SkinCalc" and "SkinCalc Pro" skins): Plus, Minus, Multiply, Divide, Decimal, Change Sign, Equals, Percent, Square (by pressing "Multiply Equals"), Square Root ("Divide Equals"), Memory Clear/Recall/Set/Add, Clear, Clear All ( "Clear Clear"), Backspace and drop-down menu with list of units. This configuration was designed to offer at least the full functionality of the Windows system calculator (Standard Mode).
Skin files can be used to change the layout and to add/remove functionality. Additional keys that can be programmed include: Multiply and divide by Constant (very useful for adding or removing VAT), Double-Zero, Triple-Zero, Reciprocal ("1/x"), Square, Square Root, Base Conversion, Bitwise Operators, Clear All, Convert to Previously-Used Unit and Convert to Preset Unit. More advanced features include support for advertising banners, dual display, skin selection menu, button shortcuts to access the Skins tab and other program options.
The following features are currently planned for inclusion in version 4.0 of the calculator engine:
* Full 3.x functionality, inclusive of skins and advanced currency features
* Compatibility with Windows system calculator in Scientific mode
* Compatibility with Microsoft Calculator Plus in Conversions mode
* Virtual paper roll
The license of this software is Freeware, you can free download and free use this calculator software.
