Stardock Should Acquire Otaku Software's TopDesk
Wonderful Task-Switcher Needs To Be Assimilated, Too!
Sunday, May 28, 2006 by MistressDaiyu | Discussion: Object Desktop
I purchased Otaku Software's TopDesk last week. The "flip3d" task switcher that it provides (it also provides choices to tile or cascade the window thumbnails) works almost as well as the one Vista provides.
The problem is that it displays most WB-skinned windows sans titlebars, heck, sans frames. Although possibly Otaku & Stardock could collaborate on a mechanism to prevent this, integration into either WindowFX or Windowblinds would make for a cleaner solution.
Of course, youse guys can also reinvent the wheel...
As a possible alternative, could WB & SkinStudio be extended to provide for skinning the "CoolSwitch" task switcher?
Oh: yes, I've used the WindowFX task switcher.
Ok, I'll sit back and wait for a while, now...
