Linux Graphical Apps
by RSCL Mumbai 21 Aug '09

21 Aug '09

Hi, I use AutoIT to develop small windows applications which make life simpler. One such application I developed & use is a "PrintScreenRecorder". Its a small application which resides in the system tray and activates when "F1" is pressed.

I registered my protest in feedback of bhuva. -- Regards NeeleshG LINUX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity
