Editor's review of XNeat Windows Manager

This handy application adds display customization tools for your Windows title bars, system tray, and taskbar. XNeat presents a simple and clear-cut interface that sits in your system tray (though we wish it would customize itself as well.) Program options are easy to navigate. Though sparsely explained, each option includes a Help tab and animation to sort you out. We're relieved to see no trace of the nag screen that plagued former versions.

Xneat can configure the program to affect window transparency and position on top, and to send the window to tray when minimized. You also can customize title bar context menus to add the same options, and access open programs quickly through a hot key combination (Windows icon + space bar.) There's a new beta function to add Date and Clone buttons to Word files, but they never showed up on our already-customized computers. We'll need to test that further. Overall, we recommend this application to any user looking for additional window and taskbar options.

  Don't bother.

  Pros: Use Taskbar Shuffle not this program see below.

  Cons: After install it made my Browser window have a half inch gap from the bottom of the Vista Task Bar, even when I clicked full screen. It went back to normal after un installing this. Use Taskbar Shuffle.

  Well done, minimal resources needed

  by: jdude77 on 19-May-2008 12:18:25 PM

  Pros: moving taskbar items works just fine. I also am glad to see only kilobytes (at worst no more than 2 MB) of RAM used by this program on my machine.

  Cons: Some of the features do not integrate well when other Desktop skinning applications are used simultaneously, but I would have expected that.

  not worth the hassle

  by: jimijumbo on 13-May-2008 10:13:39 AM

  Cons: caused my XP Pro SP3 system to be unable to shutdown, and then it was a bit difficult to remove. Not that much of a neat person I guess

  This program is a problem maker!

  by: andyfz on 14-May-2008 09:08:47 AM

  Pros: I downloaded this program based on a C-NET special article and the evaluation of the writer. Big mistake C-NET!!!

  Cons: After using it initially after the download, it wasn't long before I lost my task bar - I keep it hidden, but it would not appear when my cursor was moved to the edge of the screen as it normally would. This program installation caused my Magic-Jack phone service to become inoperative. It forced me to do a system restore back a few days, and I lost whatever updates & downloads I had made in between, like a program that was necessary to view baseball games with my MLB.TV subscription. I missed one game thinking it was a problem with MLB.TV, but it was because the restore "uninstalled" a necessary program to make it work. This program doesn't do too much, but it sure cost me a lot of time and hassle.
