A while ago someone had mentioned to me 'Sticky Windows' a macintosh-only application which allowed a user to drag windows partially outside the viewable area of their monitor(s) to create a little tab on the side of the screen. Well I've finally gotten around to writing it and I'm letting everyone here know, in case anyone is interested.

If you're curious as to what exactly 'StickyWindows' is, have a look at this website, which has a great little flash animation on how exactly 'StickyWindows' works.

Nubs is based on this video, well, since I dont have a mac.

If you're interested in getting in on alpha/beta testing, send me a message on AIM to SirWidgets and I'll get you started.

Looks good andrew :) Hopefully (well I bet it is already) more stable than the Mac version which only runs if I'm lucky.

I take alpha/beta testing pretty seriously, as it's a very important part of development to ensure that I'm not just letting out some buggy, incomplete application. When you release an application it's a reflection of your skill, your knowledge and I tend to feel it's an extension of the type of person you are - it's basically art in my eyes. (That's a personal standard by the way)

Those who are serious about helping me test the application and willing to provide me with the feedback I need to make it a good application will go the extra inches to get the beta. It makes logical sense. And I do greatly apprciate those who have been testing it and providing me with feedback.

Just another quick note, please DO NOT use an AIM account to contact me that you share with your parents or siblings. I just spoke with a very confused parent after letting them know that a new build of Nubs had been posted. I'm fairly sure that they thought it had something to do with porn...

Sounded like an awesome killer app, until I realized the Windows taskbar already basically does that. :
