Sticky WIndows 2.0: universal and more

We last mentioned Sticky Windows over a year ago, and now finally the window clutter tab utility has finally been updated to version 2.0 as a universal binary. Sticky Windows allows you to create a tab from any window. You just drag the window to the edge of the screen and it shrinks down into the tab. You can then click on the tab to get the window back. Also new in version 2.0 are tab types: manual vs. automatic (all tabbed windows other than the foremost one automatically shrink) as well as drag and drop to the tabs (though this doesn't work with every application). The Sticky Windows site has an extremely slick flash movie that demonstrates what it does (notice the clock in the menu bar of the movie). I have to say, though, that I'm not that big a fan of the pink scaling visual effect that you see each time a tab shrinks or expands.

Sticky Windows is $20 and a demo is available from Donelleschi Software.

Sticky Windows updated to version 1.2

Sticky Windows by Donelleschi Software is a utility that brings those great tabbed windows from the classic Mac OS back to Mac OS X. Once it's up and running you only need to drag any window to an edge of your screen to have it exist there as a small, unobtrusive tab. Click that tab to reveal its window, and click again to hide it. I've played around with the demo for a little while this afternoon, and it's pretty nice. I'm the type that likes an ultra-tidy desktop (no icons), and this plus Quicksilver and Command-Tab is working for me. Changes in version 1.2 include:

  • "Keep always open" button added to every tab
  • Fading effect removed to improve speed
  • Improved compatibility with Mac OS 10.4
  • Application efficiency improvement
Sticky Windows requires Mac OS 10.3 or later and costs $14.95 for a single license.
