Topic: Programs that make you go...Yippee

I saw that when it automatically updated but couldn't be bothered to read what it said.  What is the tab grouping again?

You can drag a tab on top of another, and they become part of a group.  To see all the tabs in that group, you can press the arrow to expand the group, or you can hover over the group tab and a big square thing pops up showing all the tabs in the group.

It's mostly useful if you open up a million or so tabs.  It's a bit annoying you can't see them all at a glance, but that's really just a minor issue for me.

This new version hasn't crashed since installing it, but I've yet to see how it reacts after resuming from standby/hibernate. D:

I think I've replaced saving bookmarks for saving sessions on closing (lazy-bum )

I really like the visual mouse gestures.

[chekovsulu]

Yeah, me too.

Normally I'd have this in my sidebar panel thing:

but the visual gesture thing is harder to ignore

That's handy, but I'd probably print it and stick to the side of a monitor so as not to lose real estate, so to speak.

The multiple angles looks useful, I need to go home and install it. Lots of star gazing tools have limited perspective.

a little program that gives the windows user the options of linux multiple desktops.
easy to install as well

I've been using VirtuaWin for multi-desktops but I don't use it that often because with multi-monitors, I haven't had much of a need.  I'll check out Dexpot and see how well it works.

i did see that posted somewhere.
i have only 1 monitor and i must admit it makes it easier to look at opened programs this way.

I used to use something called Litevwm (or something similar) that was a component of the LiteStep Windows GUI replacement.  It worked great...until multi-monitors were involved and then more often than not, apps would get shifted on screens and end up outside of the screens Litevwm displayed.  Hard as hell to get those back short of logging out and back in.
