Watch iTunes visualizer through transparent windows
Authored by: maddys_daddy on Jul 20, '04 12:38:49PM

Dude, what a simple, yet awesome tip. That app is definitely worth 10 of my hard earned shekels. While many may just see this as a "cool and fun" trick, it can be incredibly useful, too. For example, the transparent window tip is great for transcribing text. I already do this often with transparent terminal windows, when I need to write commands in a terminal that I'm reading from some other doc (e.g. scripting tutorial), when copy/paste just won't work (i.e. different parameters/paths/etc.) or is too time consuming (switching windows 3,865 times during a scripting tutorial sucks, even with expose, and I don't have the screen real estate for both!). And the "minimize in place" feature is just like the "iconify" feature that you find in so many Linux window managers--and so is the "roll-up" minimizing--both of which I use often on my linux box. Now time to break out the old visa and head over to Unsanity.
