This works pretty good, I've been using it for a few days with no problems. Its the Aero Snap feature in Windows 7, but it works for XP and Vista plus its free.

This was one of the most intriquing features of Windows 7 that caught my interest. Anyone that develops tend to have multiple windows open so this is a lifesaver.

* Windows XP / Vista
* .Net Framework 2.0 or higher
* 500Mhz or faster CPU
* 10MB RAM free


AeroSnap Beta

Well just downloading in a second so we will see what it is like Wait Out!

[markhazlett9]

Same thing is available for all our OS X users out there...

I hardly ever use it. In fact, the one feature in Windows 7 that is just so incredibly awesome for me is the window docking.

If I have Notepad++ open on the left dock, and Firefox open on the right. Awesome.

Just try it, drag a window by the title bar to the side of the screen.

Wow, you've gotta try Linux. You'd have a heart attack from what Compiz can do

I was thinking the same thing. None of this is really all that new.

[Theaegd]

it isnt new, but it is cool

I've used Compiz (maybe not as extensively though), but most of the things I've seen are aesthetic things. They look incredible but do almost nothing to make my life easier on the PC.

You should check out tiling window managers like XMonad on Linux. And I believe even Metacity can do the docking thing.

True, Compiz just looks cool. The real magic is in the actual (not compositing) window manager.

I personally prefer awesome as a tiling window manager. Tiling window managers are the BEST for coding, in my opinion. Windows will never match up.

Never used Awesome. I'll check it out. I used XMonad because it was rich in functionality and was written and configured in Haskell so it was familiar to me.

I've been using PyTyle with XFCE. Seems to work pretty well for me cause it allows me to disable tiling when i don't want it. I'm also semi-familiar with python which was another reason i chose it.

Your avatar creeps me the hell out.

Last night I was browsing alone at the house at flipping 4am and I see that friggin avatar. :x

I about died when I hit alt tab & it actually worked! I'm a long time BlackBox user. So I'm used to a Widow Manager that allows me to customize the shit out of my menu... & very little else.

Awesome is configured in Lua. Even though I'm not familiar with Lua, I find it very easy to configure, easy to get the hang of.

Are you saying that Blackbox doesn't have alt+tab??? Doesn't EVERY window manager have alt+tab (or at least something similar on a different key)?

PS. I'm a Openbox user, which was originally a fork of Blackbox, but has since been re-written.
