X-Assist - 0.5.1

This is a wonderful little app that anyone using OSX should use. Why? Because it picks up where (for some stupid reason) OSX left off. OSX in all its greatness let me down when it stopped doing some very logical things. X-Assist brings back some key features that simply makes our lives easier. My favourite feature by far is the ability to click on any window or palette of an application or the Finder and it will bring all of the windows/palettes to the front. For instance, an application like Hotline that has several small windows now comes to the front when you click on any window like the chat, file browser window, etc. In OSX it is simply too confusing as all your windows get mixed up (really idiotic). But now X-Assist helps take the confusion away and it greatly eases your life and improves productivity. It also has other very useful features too, although bringing an application to the front is to me nicest.

This is a must-have app. Thank you Ortabe Pty Ltd for your continued support.

And just to remind users of my erroneous post below, X-Assist does not let you double-click a window to minimize in place (like OS9), that app is called WindowShade and is now also available for 10.5, which is another must-have app. Great to have these utilities back - much appreciated.

This is a must-have app. It is the most useful utility for the Mac OSX that I can think of. Unfortunately it stopped working once I installed 10.5 Leopard. Please, please update the app so that it works with 10.5. Not having the ability to double-click a window (that stays in place) is driving me crazy.

PS: if you have 10.4 or even 10.3, get this app. You will never again want to live without it.
