Any good shade programs for Windows XP?
I used to use BlueCarpet's WinShade v3.01 (the company is gone I think)
in Windows 9x, 2000, and XP, but it doesn't work so well on my new Athlon 64 dual core system since some programs don't seem to lose focus (can't click on anymore since it thinks I am clicking on my desktop). I also tried other programs like FreeShade, but it hasn't been updated since 9/26/2001 and some programs don't even roll up and roll down correctly like SecureCRT v3.4.8 and scroll up and down in PuTTY. Others weren't impressive to me. Does anyone even use one? It seems rare and unpopular. Since I use it in Linux and Mac OS X, I can't live without it in Windows (even use GoScreen for a virtual desktop manager!). I am hoping there are more out there to try out (freeware and light on resources preferred). Thank you in advance. -- "Oh bother", said Winnie the Pooh, "There's an ant on my foot..." /\___/\ / /\ /\ \ Phillip (Ant) @ http://antfarm.ma.cx (Personal Web Site) | |o o| | Ant's Quality Foraged Links (AQFL): http://aqfl.net \ _ / Remove ANT from e-mail address: NT ( ) or Ant is currently not listening to any songs on his home computer. |

Hi Mark,
Which themes have the shade feature? I thought themes were from programs to allow windows to roll up and down like on Mac OS X (e.g., http://unsanity.com/haxies/wsx ) and Linux (e.g., KDE). Thank you in advance. On 4/19/2007 7:56 AM PT, Mark L.

Maybe I am missing something? I don't see anything code that seem to do
roll up and down. But then I am not a programmer/developer. On 4/19/2007 12:08 PM PT, Mark L.
