Why? Because I'm still frustrated that none of the OS developers have solved this problem. Worse yet, no third-party developers have taken your cue, Brian, to implement a control panel or task tray application to do this. More than 10 months have passed since I first saw your article and commented on it, and almost 14 months have passed since you wrote it. What really strikes me is that in an age where technology is growing, changing, and doubling so quickly (exponentially), it still takes forever to solve these kinds of problems.

Your research into this area seems to have beared some fruit. I really like your demos, and I think if a third-party developer, or OS manufacturer (Apple, Microsoft) could embrace these types of designs, we'd have usable interfaces. I hope we see something in the near future. Thanks for the article and work on the demos! -Kevin I just came across this article of yours while searching for Window Management tools for OS X.
