It is old, and its not neat, it's stupid.

^ you catch on pretty quickly

hahah the n00b fits in well around here

cool concept, but not practical, just use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V to copy and paste

they need to get antialiasing working on it, then put it on a Mac, then it will fit in perfectly

looks like a resource hog to me..

Is it really that difficult to drag the window to somewhere else on the screen?

8/22/2005 2:11:38 PM

looks uglier than sin to me

I mean, I guess it might not look that ugly animated, but you were on the right track with Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V...

Windows-D, select file, Ctrl-X/Ctrl-C, Alt-Tab, Ctrl-V

takes like half a second. I can't imagine the folding being any faster than that without being consequently hard to control.

useless

8/22/2005 4:30:24 PM

as useless as windowblinds.

8/22/2005 4:42:47 PM

OMFG ALL THOSE WINDOWS IN THE WAY!!!

can we say, Ctrl+C, Winkey+D, Ctrl+V. [/thread]

i really like the idea actually. nevermind that the "fold" is a little ugly, it's mostly just a proof of concept. it's unique and new, and if OSX implemented this all of you'd be secretly (or openly) drooling, and trying to duplicate it in Windows.

innovation is a very rare thing, and few people are talented enough for it.

yeah, i like it too. i'm all about keyboard shortcuts but sometimes when you got a ton of windows open, it's quicker to drag stuff than alt-tab through everything

and i don't know what all y'all are talking about windows-d for, sometimes you want to paste in places other than the desktop
