Freeware rollup/windowshade app for WinXP?

[ckeleshian]

I just want an app that lets me doubleclick(or puts a button or something) the titlebar and hide/unhide the window, just showing the titlebar.(this feature is commonplace in OSX and many linux GUI's).

Any such freeware apps out there? I've found a couple that were shareware.

Winshade is the only one I know of, but it's shareware and around $10 or so to register.

The aqua theme for ObjectDock has the window shade mode button. I don't know how else to get it.

is objectdock free? i'll settle with a free app that has a theme or plugin for it.

IIRC, there is a free version of it available. Google ObjectDock and check it out.

whoaaaaaa.... ObjectDock is free and it is really slick. Being a mac person too, I absolutely love this! THANKS THANKS THANKS!!!

sadly this does not offer the feature i requested though. how do you get programs to just become their titlebar? this is just a taskbar replacement application.

After reading this thread, I went looking for WinShade, but I couldn't find a working link anywere.

I stumbled upon FreeShade
It has a few VERY minor bugs, but works very well and is free.
