Product Description:
Zooom makes moving, resizing and zooming your application windows an effortless process. It's how windows should have been made. Although these three operations don't sound like much, once you get used to using Zooom, you'll be wondering how you ever managed to live without it.
What's new in this version:
* Zooom forces itself to exist on all \'Spaces\'. This is required for the magnetics functionality to work properly when the new Leopard \'Spaces\' feature is being used. * The menu-bar menu is now only shown if you are not showing the dock icon (and vice-versa). The rationale here is that there must always be some way for the users to change the settings, so disabling both the dock *and* the menu-bar menu isn\'t allowed. * The Magnetics functionality now works properly for the \'4 quadrant\' resize functionality, i.e. when resizing a window via the top left corner, the window will properly snap into place if magnetics is switched on.
Operating System Requirements:
This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:
- Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
- Mac OS X 10.5 PPC
Additional Requirements:
- Mac OS X 10.5 or higher

Still doesn't work with all Office 2008 apps - Version: 2.2.5, 12/23/2008 10:53AM PST

Zooom is great -- when it works. Unfortunately, although it works perfectly in Safari, Firefox and finder windows, its compatibility is still spotty with Office 2008 apps. Here's a rundown from my tests:
Excel: Works perfectly.
PowerPoint: Works perfectly.
Entourage: Moves windows, but will not resize them.
Word: Neither moving nor resizing works.
I've seen nothing about this on Zooom's forums for several months, so maybe it's just me. Is anyone else experiencing these issues?
Excel: Works perfectly.
PowerPoint: Works perfectly.
Entourage: Moves windows, but will not resize them.
Word: Neither moving nor resizing works.

Also like Zooom very much. How did I live w/o it? (chorusing other feedback). Valuable the same way SideTrack is. Using OS X 10.5.1 on a PowerBook.
Zooom's way of using more of a gestural motion for resizing & moving windows w/o looking for a specific spot on a window w/ a mouse/trackpad will quickly pay for Zooom. Why? Because of less repetitive motion wear & tear on my body.
See freeware, WindowDragon, mentioned as an alternative. However I'm leery of haxies such as Unsanity's APE, which is required; haxies have sometimes created anomalies in my OS.
xPad: I can't resize docs by dragging the mouse inside the window; still have to grab the window's corner.
Oxford American Dictionary widget: Zooom isn't able to resize. Have to drag the corner of widget.
Works well w/ TextEdit, Finder, Safari, Firefox & VLC.
Safari: One of Zooom's default keyboard cmd, Cmd + Shift, interferes w/ Safari's keyboard command to open a link in new tab. So I had to change Zooom's default Move cmd in Prefs.
Photoshop CS: Can move images around w/ Zooom but when resizing window of opened image, window grows larger but image does not increase in size. Didn't take time to check if Zooom's keyboard resize cmd mirrored one of Photoshop's bazillion keyboard commands?

Well my problem has been that I live in MS Office. Probably about 40-50% of what I do on a computer is in Office. And Zooom, despite all the promises did not work in Office! Until now.
No promises in the release. It just works. Powerpoint and Excel are smooth. There's hesitation and hitches in Word, but it will work.
And, it's cheap.
I'm happy!!
