Sc2gears as an application has several miscellaneous features:

• • Multi-platform release

  • There is one single download for all operating systems (Windows, Linux, Mac OS-X).

  • Multi-language user interface

  • Sc2gears also contains a built-in Translation tool which can be used to translate Sc2gears into other languages or edit any existing translations very easily.

  • Multiple Document Interface (MDI)

  • Several replay analysis, replay search etc. can be open at a time, and each has its own internal window which can be sized, moved, iconified etc.

  • Additional internal window key shortcuts:

• • Multi-threading technology: you can run several replay searches, analyzers etc. parallel in different internal windows without one blocking you or another task.

  • Several Look and Feels (Graphical Themes)

  • Some look good but might be slow (Nimbus), some are fast but might be ugly (CDE/Motif). Metal is a middle way between speed and nice look. Choose what suits you best.

  • Changing the Look and Feel works without restarting Sc2gears, but it is recommended to restart after changing theme to fully take effect.

  • Voice notifications. Multiple voices are available, you can choose the one that you like the most.

  • Supports full-screen mode (press F11 to enter/exit fullscreen mode)

  • Automated self-updater

  • You only have to download Sc2gears once, the automated self-updater will notify you of new versions, and updates itself with your confirmation. All your custom files and settings will be kept safe.

  • Global hotkeys can be enabled so you can control Sc2gears while you're in StarCraft II (or from any other applications).

  • Supports one instance (by default). If only one instance is allowed, Sc2gears will only run in one instance. Attempting to open a new instance will bring the running instance to front. If you double click on an SC2Replay (and it is associated with Sc2gears), the replay will open in the (only) running instance.

  • Supports system tray, can be minimized to tray. The most common features are also available from the popup menu of the system tray icon.

  • Any replay files, Sc2gears replay source files, Sc2gears replay list files can be passed to Sc2gears.exe. If multiple files are passed, all will be opened respectively within the same Sc2gears using multiple internal windows. If a file name contains spaces, put it in quotation marks.

  • Replay auto-save: If it is enabled, Sc2gears will backup all your new replays automatically. You just need to run Sc2gears while you play (you can hide it to the notification area if you want). You can change the naming template for the auto-saved replays. You can specify up to 5 SC2 auto-replay folders, and all will be monitored for new replays.

  • APM Alert: plays you a "Low APM!" voice if your APM drops below the alert level, and an "APM ok." voice if your APM is back to normal. If you'd like, you can enable the APM alert repetition in case your APM would stay low. You can also set to get alerts on game start and game end events.

  • Has a built-in Game time - Real time converter utility. With this you can easily convert APM values and times from game time to real time and vice versa on any game speed.

  • Has On-Top (In-game) info panels like On-Top APM display (In-game current APM), On-Top Game info (In-game info panel about the players you just played with).

  • Different date and time formats can be specified for all languages. Moreover you can customize date and time formats for your own needs.
