NCPanel
REQUIRES .NET 6.0 RUNTIME.
But why ?
A remake of my Commands Panel. This one is easier to use, more flexible and overall better looking (subjective).
NCPanel (New Commands Panel) is a discrete software to put in the corner of a screen and acts as a second shortcut bar, but with a lot more customization. You can add simple commands, internet shortcuts, or anything that can be input in the CLI.
What changed ?
- The app automatically stick to a corner, no need to precisely move the window.
- Can create custom contextmenu.
- Better plugins support.
- The window goes small when the cursor is far away from the window, not just outside.
- Multiple layouts available.
- Always TopMost, except when the window is in the center of the screen (it also does not stick to a corner).
- Can edit the size of the window.
Portability
By simply creating a Data folder next to the .exe, the app will store its data in this folder instead of %appdata%/NCPanel.
Extensions
The software is fully compatible with plugins (written in C#, .NET 6.0). You will need to create a library project with a dependency to NCPExtension.dll. In the .csproj, I recommend to put :
In the <PropertyGroup> of the project data :
<EnableDynamicLoading>true</EnableDynamicLoading>And in the <ItemGroup> of the dependecy to NCPExtension.dll :
<Private>false</Private>
<ExcludeAssets>true</ExcludeAssets>Example with the dependency as a project reference :
<ItemGroup>
<ProjectReference Include="[path to NCPExtension.csproj]">
<Private>false</Private>
<ExcludeAssets>true</ExcludeAssets>
</ProjectReference>
</ItemGroup>To install the plugin, create a folder with the same name as your dll, and put every dll required (BUT NOT NCPExtension.dll) in this folder. Then move this folder to the Data/plugins folder of the app.
A small example is available on the git, which use Newtonsoft.Json as a dependency.
