DM2 -- Floating Icons and Other Windows Enhancements

Posted on Tuesday, April 18, 2006 at 9:38 PM by Randall

Windows has two standard places where a program window can go when you aren't using it, but don't want to close it: a button on the task bar or a icon in the tray. (Okay, you can also hide it, but then it is hard to get the window back.) Most programs only minimize to the taskbar. Both places can get very crowded if you have a lot of programs running. DM2 is a desktop enhancement program that allows programs to be minimized to floating icons that you can put anywhere on your desktop. It also adds features like minimize to tray, always on-top, roll to caption, resize, align to screen borders, hide, make windows transparent, and adds a user-defined menu with favorites and recent files and folders to standard dialog boxes. Plugins add even more features.
