Aphex's App of the Week - Week of 4/28/08

[__Afloat__]

Info: Afloat is a small system extension that puts new commands in the Window of most Mac applications. It allows you to:

* Keep windows afloat over all others, make them transparent or even insensible to clicks, so that they become always-available overlays over your work;
* Drag a window from any point in the window;
* And more![/i] - Text taken from Infinite-Labs

My Take: It took FOREVER for me to find a proper always-on-top program for OSX and when I came across Afloat, I had finally found the perfect solution. As many of you have probably noticed, most mac programs lack the ability to keep the window always on top (which can be especially annoying when viewing videos - such as a slingbox), Afloat works like a charm to add this badly needed (IMO) feature. My only gripe is that it dosen't seem to work with Firefox (at least with the extensions I have installed), so I'm working on a solution to that as we speak.
