Dragging drawers off the edge of workbench
« on: July 03, 2006, 01:39:48 PM »
As the title suggests.  

A while back someone mentioned a utility on Aminet which allowed drawers to be dragged off the edge of the visible workbench (as is possible on a MS windows screen) - thus allowing you to move drawers out of the way more completely.

Anyone know what it's called?

Have done a few keyword searches, but eliciting nothing thus far.

Thanks

Hmm, drawers? Do you mean windows? Then powerwindows on aminet might be what you're looking for.

You actually like dragging windows off screen? That is one of the things I hate about other operating systems. I wish I could find a way to make other operating systems NOT move windows off screen.

The ultimate worst was the Windows NT bug that caused Task Manager to gradually work its way to the top of the screen after opening a few times and move off the top, making it impossible for you to access the gadgets and menu.

 I tried PowerWindows once. It does the job but it made my workbench slower, so i dump it.

Like is perhaps the wrong term.  Find useful?  Yes the extra space is useful.

That was a long time ago.

Looks like Powerwondows will take quite a bit of cofiguring anyway, so it remains a curious toy for now at least, until I can spare it the time.
