Power menu applet

[Guest]

I saw the nifty little power menu program that was pinned to the taskbar in Linus's unboxing of a Gigabyte laptop, so I thought I'd give a shot at making a little applet that lets you do the same thing.

 

Here's what it looks like:

Windows 8 specific notes: 

Shut down button = hybrid shut down 

Shift + shut down button = full shut down

Shift + restart = boot options menu 

 

Changelog: 

v1.1 

-Added some credits for myself (F1 for help) 

-Positions itself better now (X coordinate depends on where your cursor is, no longer bottom right) 

 

v1.2 

-Fixed Windows 8 hybrid shut down 

-Added tooltips 

 

v1.3 

-Shut down and restart commands no longer flash command windows

Good initiative, not running windows 8 myself but good work.

You should make the program on the notification tray, and it opens at the position of the icon. Also, when you click away, it disappears.

But nice app. What language did you use?

I figured it would be better if it wasn't always on top.

I used C#.

No I mean, have the program run at startup, and be on the notification are (next to the clock). SO that when someone wants to shutdown, they can click on it, and the menu will show.

Ah true. I'll work on a separate app for that, probably. It would look nice with the thinner borders too in Win8.1. :D
