Not sure if this is the right place to post this, so forgive me if its not.
For those like me who like to use maptool just for the maps but hate to tab around to get to a dice roller, I've made a little app in C# that creates a toolbar at the top of the screen that will stay on top with a simple dice roller, It also has a Critical hit and Fumble roller in it as well for those that use it.
It can be found here

Its a work in progress, any comments, feedback, suggestions, insults, and gratitudes are always welcome.
Version Releases
V.01
Initial Release
V.02
Bug fixes where the Dice rolled would never be maxed out
*Added Button functionality, either Pressing Enter or Control R will Roll the dice for you.
V.03
Multiple Die rolls added. hitting Control R will roll all 5 dice, OR you can hit Control and the number corresponding with the number its at, IE control 1 will roll the first one, control 2 will roll the second one, ect.
put in framework for timer to roll random encounter dice every so often.
coded to detect monitor size and place dice accordingly (still might be buggy).
V.04
Added Countdown Encounter Button, Configurable (does not save settings yet) by right clicking the button. Options are 5,10,15, and 30 minutes. At end of Countdown displays a message box with number rolled for encounter (Selected from 1d6,2d6,3d6 with the right click menu.)
Need testing from different Monitor sizes (mine is 1680 wide, I know it works with that but need feedback from other resolution settings and Video cards mines NVidia)
V.05 (simi final)
Latest version now up. countdown timer now saves preferences between application runs.
Fumbles with a Duration of slip,trip,stun ect now rolls duration and shows it at end of line.
Critical hit and Fumble tables moved to External CVS files so they can be edited to fit your play style. use a spreadsheet to edit them and save as comma delimited file.
Notes on Editing:
Files are set up to use as many results as you want. First column is for noting which die result it is. you must add more lines if you wish to add more results.
results go into the second column. If you want a result to have multiple die rolls associated with it you must put it on separate lines or leave the preceding result fields black (see current files for examples). If the Fumble has a duration effect put the MAX duration number in the 3rd column.
This now does everything that I want it to currently do. there won't be as many updates to it now as I will be starting my next project. I will keep checking here for Suggestions from people and try to implement them as I can.
To Do list
Make Fumble/crit file editor
And any other requests that may be requested of it.
