Afloat delivers eye candy

by Alec Feld on Apr 28, 2008 at 05:26 PM

AfloatI really want a second display, but simply cannot afford it. However, there are many apps that can make the most of a smaller, single display, including Afloat. The app can make windows transparent, and even keep certain windows above others (hence the name “Afloat”). You’re probably wondering how the hell this helps maximize display space. The transparency allows you to, in theory, see two windows at once, or overlap windows if there isn’t enough room. No more putting windows side by side, with Afloat you can see everything at once. There’s one minor restriction which may stop users from downloading this, which is that Afloat pretty much only works with Cocoa apps, so carbon apps like iTunes and Finder just won’t work. Check out Afloat and see if it helps maximize your display space.
