Hi Melisa I just tried it on my Vista machine and the answer is no - and I think I have a later version than the link I gave but from where I got it I have no idea. I now what you mean about all the windows. I have writen a couple of simpler image apps and it's actually easier as a developer to have all those floating bits and most programs do it that way.

Just having a background window behind the others will help me. I find seeing the stuff on my desktop between all the Gimp windows really distracting. Do you happen to know if this plugin works with Vista? Melisa --- In gimpwin-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Alec Ford <alecford@...> wrote: > > Not mentioned so far but I use Deweirdifyer.

A little plugin (addon) for Windows Gimp that gets rid of some of the weirdnesses and annoyances in the Windows version of Gimp. Adds a background window that sits under gimp. It removes the other ten million gimp windows from the task bar and the ALT-TAB menu and takes control of them itself. You can just alt tab off gimp and then alt tab back and all your windows appear as they were before. Only one icon on the taskbar, no more taskbar clutter and clicking that icon brings up *all* the gimp windows. Basically it makes GIMP work more like a single windows application than a bunch of windows. Gimp's modification GimpShop was based on this plugin. > > alec ------------------------------------ List archives: <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/gimpwin-users/> To unsubscribe send a blank message from the address you're subscribed to <mailto:gimpwin-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>Yahoo!
