Sticky Windows is a nice tool which extends the tab browsing experience to the Desktop. Sticky Windows transforms your windows into tabs when you drag a window towards the edge of your screen. Providing you with a completely clutter-free workspace.
If the user will press the tab the window will be displayed or hidden.
The tab can be created by dragging a window on the left or the bottom or the right side of the main screen. Each tab displays the window title as well as the associated application icon. The tab`s icon provides a contextual menu which offers some useful commands (show/hide window, close tab, switch)
To remove a tab, simply drag it away from the screen edge, or choose "Close Tab" from the tab`s context menu. If the window is not currently visible when the tab is dismissed, the original window is re-displayed on the screen.
A behavior similar to Sticky Windows was available in the Finder of Mac OS 9. However the handy feature which Sticky Windows adds to Mac OS X is now available for any application (non only for the Finder) and tabs can be created in the 3 free sides of the screen (not only the bottom side as in OS 9).

· 5 seconds startup delay.
