ClipMate™ Clipboard Extender v7.5
I've been using the screen graphic clipping ability now to measure screen widths of various browser displays. I have two monitors so that I can put menu bars of graphics programs out of the way of the main graphic display screen. This works great to make comparisons of various pages. I can put a clip of prices I paid for investments on one monitor and current prices on the main monitor and readily see what's working and what's not!- Don Hershberger
ClipMate on Vista
Not surprisingly, many users are asking us if ClipMate runs on Vista. Sure it does! We've been running ClipMate on Vista since the December 2006. Like they say, "you can't build it, unless you live it!" ClipMate 7 runs quite well on Vista, and does take advantage of some of the neat new features, particularly the "bulletproof" ClipBoard notification system in Vista, which prevents lost clipboard events.
UPDATE: ClipMate also runs great on Windows7, Windows 8, and 8.1.
Known Issues
- Installation - FIXED in 7.2 and Later!
-
Skins - the skins library is causing trouble (crashes). Don't use the skins on Vista. The installer for ClipMate 7.2 won't even let you install the skins. Good news - ClipMate looks great on Vista, without skins.

- Clipbar on Vista64 - You cannot run the ClipBar on 64-bit Vista. (FIXED IN 7.5!!)

Cool Stuff
Sounds too loud or too soft? Vista lets you control the volume for individual applications. When ZDNet tested this, apparently they like their ClipMate sounds quieted down a bit. See this screenshot in their slideshow, where ClipMate is clearly visible.
