WindowFX description
WindowFX - Add drop shadows, morphing and more to Windows.

WindowFX is a revolutionary new program that allows you to add an unprecedented number of special effects to windows.

WindowFX adds special effects "fx" to your Windows experience. Effects include shadows under windows, min/max/close/open animations, window dragging effects, window tiling, window scaling, alt-tab task switching options, taskbar preview thumbnails and much more.

WindowFX when combined with WindowBlinds can give your Windows XP system a next-generation Windows look and feel. The two complement each other (and are developed by the same team within Stardock).

WindowFX takes advantage of your video card to provide the effects without losing down your computer. Stardock does caution that it does require a reasonable good video card with modern drivers to get the most out of. WindowFX is, bar none, the most advanced visual enhancement utility for Microsoft Windows. No other program comes even remotely close to what it can do.

Here are some key features of "WindowFX":

· True, alpha blended shadows under windows
· Ability to morph windows when minimizing and maximizing
· Several different morphing effects available.
· A set of window opening and closing animations

· Various special effects for Windows desktop icons and their labels
· A set of special effects for menus when opened and closed
