GroupBar from Microsoft Research
With all the recent articles about the Windows Vista Sidebar, I thought I would mention a little tool for jealous XP users made by Microsoft Research called "GroupBar".
From the GroupBar site:
There are a few minor presentation bugs that are clearly outlined on the site but nothing that should interfere with any other programs. The nice thing about playing with GroupBar is that it requires no installation, simply run the executable file. Likewise, just delete the file to uninstall it.
From the GroupBar site:
GroupBar is lightweight desktop tool created by the VIBE group that offers enhanced window management capabilities in a Windows taskbar-like setting. The basic concept is that through simple drag-and-drop operations on window tiles within the bar, users can create lightweight, transient grouping relationships that allow them to perform certain higher-level window layout functions on multiple windows at once. In addition, windows and groups in the GroupBar can be persisted in a "Snapshot" which attempts to remember the position and contents of each window in a way that allows the Snapshot to be recreated at a later time, even if the windows have been rearranged or closed.
