What are your top three WindowFX features?
Friday, May 11, 2012 by Neil Banfield | Discussion: OS Customization
We are interested in hearing what your top three features of WindowFX 5 are and why.
Are you an animation fan, a right click menu fan, or something else?

The animations ROCK!
But i like that interesting Flip3D that turns the window around to show resources etc even more.
Too bad though that seems to only work on the stardock applications. [e digicons]:'([/e]
Sure would like to flip around my explorer window and firefox window though.
Oh and transparency! Transparency EVERYWHERE!

The window flip feature works on pretty much all windows. The exception is elevated applications.
In the non paid version the flip only works on the WindowFX config window itself as a demonstration of the effect.

Neil, my middle button sends the window to the next monitor. How do I get flip?

Right click the maximize button.

Nope. It is however a WB option to right click the titlebar to send to tray, not the max button.

OK, just disabled the function in WB config. Now right clicking the max button does nada on an explorer window, flips IE9 tho.
Remember, I'm using the new dll.

I like the simplicity of use and amount of options.
Oh,and the effects are nice as well.

Must be the elevation then. Cause I have WindowFX with ODNT and it IS working on the other stardock applications too.
No trial stuff here.

I do get a buzz out of "throwing my windows" across my desktop.
Docking to corners, docking horizontal or vertical only (flicks) but most of all pin on top - all useful workflow features.

The uninstall feature. LOL joking joking! I'm really liking the auto fade on inactive windows after a period of time.
