Does the trick--very neat little gadget. No problems, crashes, nada. (Mainly, I love being able to make all those windows go SWOOSH! into a neat little package in the corner!)

it's not the app's fault - Version: 1.1, 11/3/2003 06:01AM PST

If it gives you trouble, keep in mind that that's due to something that Apple has built into the OS, not the developer's problem. All this does is take advantage of hidden settings. It was giving me trouble, but it's cool to check out anyway. It's nothing to cry about because you can just turn the settings off and the problems go away. They did for me, anyway. It's something cool worth checking out, if nothing else.

This shouldn't be even be on versiontracker. This will screw up your mac, no question. I was having some serious troubles with window management after trying this, iTunes and Safari were pains in the royal caboose.

Stay Away!
