Have fun with a Genie Effect minimizing glitch
Authored by: mm2270 on Feb 02, '04 01:16:27PM

Well, I must say, this is a trip! Haha!

Y'know, I can actually see one "sort of" use for this. If you keep your minimize effect on "scale" as I do, you can minimize a window to about half size, kill the dock and stil be able to use it. I'm keeping open a Safari browser window for a site I'm monitoring this way right now! It's great because it takes up less space and I can have it viewable most of the time. I can even use the refresh command periodically. Cool hint!

Unfortunately, the links don't move, meaning that you have click where the link would be in an unwarped window, which, when outside of the warped window, means they are inaccessable.
In a warped window in opposite to a scaled (linear) one, one can, however, always scroll, to bring the link in question close the top, where the position of the links only move a little bit.

safari 1.2 supports tabbing from link to link, that fixes your problem of your click target being wrong (kinda like my resize target)

i've also found that iChat windows act _verry_ strange... selecting text at the same time as moving the window!

lol
