Even though TweakWindow has many analogs currently available for download on the Internet, no other window enhancement utility comes close to TweakWindow in terms of usability and number of features offered. In addition to standard features, like hiding a window or making it topmost or transparent, TweakWidnow offers unique capabilities, like an option to change window icon or title so that no one can just come over and see what program you are running. One-click window minimization to the system tray is a great option for software applications that are automatically launched upon startup (like MS Outlook) but aren't currently used. To maximize a window, simply click the application icon in the system tray. Another popular option not available in many window enhancement tools is a rollup feature that rolls the window up or down, leaving visible only its titlebar. Window ghosting is a feature that makes a window topmost and semi-transparent (users can adjust the transparency level themselves). All clicks will go through that window to the one located beneath, but the ghost window can still be closed, minimized, maximized and resized. Only ghost window title bar reacts to the mouse clicks. This is a great feature when you are running an application that you don't want others to see, but don't like hiding it entirely and need to be able access it immediately, when necessary.
All these window manipulations can be done easily one of three ways. First, you can use the buttons that the program adds to windows (this option can be turned on or off). Second, you can manipulate the windows through the window system menu. Finally, you can assign your own hotkeys that will trigger an action by simply pressing a combination of keys.
The program is extremely easy to download, set up and use. It requires absolutely no special skills or knowledge. And since TweakWindow is 100% FREE to download and try, you can start using it right now! 55

Talking graphical user interfaces, there is hardly an innovation since the ingenious invention of a window. Indeed, the concept of representing information as a variety of windows, also called perception frames, seems to be a time-proven solution for majority of computer interaction tasks.
However, here is an idea you may wish to consider: once the coffee machine was invented it was a major leap forward, but since then the idea was improved so much that you will not probably recognize the original thing as a coffee machine.
If you take it to computers and operating systems, the conclusion seems obvious: something should have happened to the original rectangle we used to call a 'window' back in late 80s, other than just the 'close' button added to the window title bar.
Right you are! The change is inevitable! Presenting Actual Windows Manager, the unique software solution that turns odd and common windows into new age windows with advanced functionality!
Actual Windows Manager is a technologically advanced tool that interacts with operating system shell level to bring extended functionality to every window on the system. It allows you to roll-up and unroll windows, hide them to TaskTray, keep them on top and make them semi-transparent via new buttons added to each window title bar.
Actual Windows Manager keeps track of all the configuration changes you make to each individual window and applies the changes automatically on the fly! This means you can specify which additional buttons to display for each window on the system (including menus and Taskbar itself) as well as you can set the individual transparency level.
Want some sugar on top of that? The application operates semi-automatically, which means you won't have to spent hours trying to figure out how it works. Its rule-based logics are rather native to human mind.
It is now perfect time to sort the windows mess out and take advantage of FREE trial version you can download right now! 33
