WindowFX 4 Released!
Wednesday, December 15, 2010 by Island Dog | Discussion: WinCustomize News
WindowFX is the best way PC users can spice up their systems look-and-feel while still adding productivity benefits (such as maximizing windows to a specific size). Unlike many programs that fall into the "eye candy" category, WindowFX strives to not get in the way of doing real work on the computer.
New in version 4.0:
- Custom window animations
- 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
Available now via a 30-day trial or $9.95 from Stardock, WindowFX is also a part of the Object Desktop suite of software products ($49.95 at https://www.stardock.com/products/odnt/purchase.asp).

I've been using it since it came out and it just kept getting better. Great fun.

If you don't have WindowFX 4, get it. I must say, it's compelling.

I've got all sorts of effects on. It works so seamlessly you only notice it when you turn it off.

Great! And best of all... you've made the one change that was needed to make this the perfect tool for me 
If you have the "make inactive Windows darken" option activated and all open windows are minimized, the desktop no longer darkens 
Great job and tnx for listening.

The one issue I noted previously is still there though 
- for users of the "Sticky Notes" built into Windows 7, thee desktop darkens behind it (it should be treated as if it is on the desktop). I would also love to see a feature where you can add an exemption to add any program so it cannot steal focus.
