Sticky Windows is an application for Mac OS X Tiger which extends the tab browsing experience to the Desktop. Sticky Windows shrinks your windows into tabs when you drag a window towards the edge of your screen, providing you with a completely clutter-free workspace. By clicking on the tab the user can show and hide the window.

The tab can be created by dragging a window to any edge of the screen (Sticky Windows also supports multiple screens). When the mouse reaches the margin of the screen a tab will appear.

To remove a tab, simply drag it away from the screen edge. If the window is not currently visible when the tab is dismissed, the original window is re-displayed on the screen.

    Yeah, was fun on Tiger, but I just use spaces on Leopard.

    Overall:

    StickyWindows is a clever attempt to clean up the user-space, however it pales in comparison to virtual desktops (a.k.a. Spaces in Leopard). Where as virtual desktops solve the problem by allowing you to organize your windows as you see fit, StickyWindows forces the user to click tabs to show and hide a given window. In the end, this is no different than minimizing and un-minimizing a window, and is not as fast or efficient as using CMD-TAB or virtual desktops.
