WindowFX 4 Beta Has Arrived!
Thursday, October 28, 2010 by Island Dog | Discussion: WinCustomize News
The long awaited beta for WindowFX 4 has arrived today, and users with an active Object Desktop subscription can download the beta via Impulse. This is a completely new app with a new direction from what you might have experienced with previous versions.
The beta includes:
- Custom animations for window open/close/minimize/restore
- Enhanced window resizing options when dragging to screen edges
- Eliminate distractions by drawing attention to the foreground window
- Enable window momentum when moving windows
- Window Flick mouse actions to customize window movement, maximizing, and monitor location
- Allow Flash videos to run full-screen on one monitor (on a multi-monitor system)
- Semi-transparent windows when inactive or moving a window
- Keep a clean desktop by automatically minimizing inactive windows after a configurable period
- Extend right-click window menus with additional features including custom maximized window sizes and always-on-top visibility settings
We will be talking a lot more about the features soon, so keep an eye out for those articles. It’s not too late to get your Object Desktop subscription and check out not only WindowFX 4, but full versions of our other desktop enhancement apps like WindowBlinds, IconPackager, DeskScapes, and more!

Aleatoric ... your avatar is my second favorite looney tunes character, Marvin the Martian. Nice to meet another dude with good taste. As for WindowsFX ...... I'll pass for now. It might give my laptop the willies.

I am using it now, Win 7 64 bit. Loving it! This rocks, and I'm sure there's more coming!!

This is one of those programs that you need to take a little time with and see exactly what it does. Thank you Stardock.

Nice to see a new version finally. This program is cool, while being a little pointless apart from asthetic value. Playing with it now but i cannot see myself using this for any long term period. Thanks stardock. (P.S. Rightclick update anytime soon?)

Works as advertised sofar, win7 x64. One very happy puppy.
One glitch, when setting the option: make windows darken etc. it also darkens the Deskscape dream which to me is not really effective.

Unfortunately thats how it will always work. The dream is below everything else and so will be darkened when any other window has focus.

When I reposition a window in Photoshop, it minimizes the window and it won't come back.

Had some weired issues with Outlook 2007. When I would try to reply to an email or start a new email the window for it would not be visible. I could go to the taskbar and see that it had opened a new window for the reply or new mail. On the taskbar preview i right-clicked and selected move then hit my left arrow key. I could see that it was moving a window but that window was not visible.
Had to un-install WindowFX. Simply disabling it would not fix the problem.

It sounds like there was an issue with animations and turning them off and then closing and reopening outlook would have resolved it.
