Both download links above are broken, here's a working one. Note that the Wiki link goes to a wiki that has been shut down, and the current ClickWiki doesn't have much documentation at the moment. Here's the extension's help file:

THE BIG BOX, CREATED BY PHANOO
*********************************
*** SPECIAL FUNCTIONS ***
*********************************

Some functions are particular, maybe they need some explanations:


INSTALLED OS:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Retrieve a value that corresponds to the version of your Windows:
1= Windows 3.51
2= Windows 4.0
3= Windows 95
4= Windows 98
5= Windows Me
6= Windows 2000
7= Windows XP
8= Windows Server 2003 Family


CHANGE THE BACKGROUND COLOR OF THE DESKTOP:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The background color will only be visible if there is no wallpaper above !! To disable-it, do "Change wallpaper", choose "Expression" then keep the field empty ("").


FONT SMOOTHING:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
This function enable/disable Windows' smoothing. Of course, the smoothing works with MMF too; but if you change the smoothing parameters, you need to restart your application.


MUSIC WITH THE INTERNAL SPEAKER:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
There is a function in the expression that retrieves for
you the frequency of the 12 musical notes of an octave.
You can use it with the BEEP function to make a melody.
When the speaker is beeping, the application is paused,
I haven't found a way to prevent that.
The BEEP works only with Windows XP.


OBTAIN THE CPU SPEED:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
It uses an ASM code that calculate in real-time the
processor speed, this function is quite slow, it's why you must
NOT use it in a condition that repeats often (ex: Always, every 0,05 s...).


OPEN A WEBSITE:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
The file will be opened with the default program associated.
If you specify a website, it will be loaded into the default browser.


CHANGE SYSTEM COLOURS:
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
There are a lot of parameters for the system colours, it's why i've
took them into one. You choose which parameter to modify by entering
a number between 0 and 25; they correspond to:

0 = COLOR_3DDKSHADOW
1 = COLOR_3DFACE
2 = COLOR_BTNFACE
3 = COLOR_3DHILIGHT
4 = COLOR_3DLIGHT
5 = COLOR_3DSHADOW
6 = COLOR_ACTIVEBORDER
7 = COLOR_ACTIVECAPTION
8 = COLOR_APPWORKSPACE
9 = COLOR_BACKGROUND
10 = COLOR_BTNTEXT
11 = COLOR_CAPTIONTEXT
12 = COLOR_GRAYTEXT
13 = COLOR_HIGHLIGHT
14 = COLOR_HIGHLIGHTTEXT
15 = COLOR_INACTIVEBORDER
16 = COLOR_INACTIVECAPTION
17 = COLOR_INACTIVECAPTIONTEXT
18 = COLOR_INFOBK
19 = COLOR_INFOTEXT
20 = COLOR_MENU
21 = COLOR_MENUTEXT
22 = COLOR_SCROLLBAR
23 = COLOR_WINDOW
24 = COLOR_WINDOWFRAME
25 = COLOR_WINDOWTEXT
