Stardock has released WindowFX 3.0. WindowFX adds special effects "fx" to your Windows experience. Effects include shadows under windows, min/max/close/open animations, window dragging effects, window scaling, window tiling, alt-tab task switching options, taskbar preview thumbnails, and much more. WindowFX when combined with
WindowBlinds can give your Windows XP system a next-generation Windows look and feel. The two complement each other (and are developed by the same team within Stardock).
WindowFX 3 takes advantage of your video card to provide the effects without losing down your computer. Stardock does caution that it does require a reasonable good video card with modern drivers to get the most out of. WindowFX is, bar none, the most advanced visual enhancement utility for Microsoft Windows. No other program comes even remotely close to what it can do.
