Pistachio: windows usability addon

[urlwolf]

Pistachio is one of those little applications that does a lot:

• Minimize to systray
  
• tweak transparency using the mouse wheel on the title bar (!).
  
• Lock two windows so they can be moved together
  
• etc

It's free.

some useful stuff there, but i was particularly impressed by the option to calculate the moons age

If this works well, it would solve the problem for ak_

The name is Pitaschio instead of Pistachio. I thought there was a typo when I saw the configuration window but realized that the error was in the announcement.

I ran the program with default settings just to see what it was doing. No installer and nothing written to the registry, which I appreciate. However, I felt like Pitaschio tries to do too much. It completely rearranged my desktop and listed all my shortcuts (file/program/drive) at the top left corner. It doesn't coexist very well with Directory Opus either (double-click for a new lister, for example, didn't work). Also when you click to the top of the window in the blue area, the window just closes. I decided I needed more time than I have right now to play with the software and customize it to my taste.

Dealbreaker for me... It would be impossible to over emphasize how dependent I have become on this feature in DOpus. There aren't words!

I find it indispensable as well. I keep finding myself double-clicking to no avail on computers without DOpus.
