Taekwindow Adds Linux-Style Window Handling To Windows
3:00AM Jason Fitzpatrick | Windows only: Taekwindow adds several key features found in the X-Windows based interfaces common to several popular Linux distros. Resize, move, and manipulate with this portable application. After running Taekwindow you will be able to move windows from anywhere within the window, instead of having to grab the title bar. By holding ALT+left mouse button anywhere on a window you can move it; if you have multiple monitors, you can grab maximised windows to move without re-sizing. ALT+right mouse button allows you to drag the mouse to resize the window, and middle-clicking the title bar of an application pushes it to the background. Like previously reviewed WizMouse., Taekwindow enables the use of the scroll wheel on whatever window the mouse cursor is over, not just the window in focus. All in all, it’s a nice package of mouse tools for anyone disgruntled by window herding. Taekwindow is freeware, Windows only and requires .NET Framework 2.0 and above. Thanks LethAL!

12:43AM Kevin Purdy | There are a scant few features of the latest release of Safari for Windows and Mac OS X that you can’t recreate in Firefox with the help of a few add-ons and tweaks—except for Safari’s intuitive inline search. It’s not a direct port, but the CyberNet blog has put together a package that gives you the same darkened-screen highlighting that makes it easier to spot your key words on a page—and even gives them that little bounce in case you’re not sure where Firefox found the highlighted term. The download is three JavaScript files that you’ll drop into a profile folder and a single extension to install, and all of it should be pretty easily removed for most users. I tested it in the Firefox 3 beta in Linux, and it works as promised. Hit the link for the package and installation instructions. Safari 3 Style Inline Search in Firefox [CyberNet] More »
