Flexiglass for OS X displays work with windows to a new level
Makradar Technologies / / December 19, 2019
More than once I I wrote of applications that help in the management of windows on the Mac. Oddly enough, with almost identical functionality, developers not only to continue to compete with each other, but also to produce other products having similar features. With the next one - Flexiglass - I introduce you today.
In addition to standard functions such as adhesion to the edges of the screen and hot keys for predefined window layout combinations, Flexiglass characterized by some own "chips". Let them not so much, but some definitely useful, and most importantly - to save a little time.
The fact that in the application settings there are interesting opportunities to move and change the size of the application windows and folders. Including the first option, we choose the button and the number of fingers that will be involved in the movement of the window (in the case of the touchpad). By default, this Option and two fingers. Now, if we want to move a window on the desktop, not necessarily attracted to its title. Press Option and two fingers move it from one place to another. Drag it so that it is possible for any place - convenient, is not it?
Resizing works similarly. Default is responsible for this Option button and three fingers on the trackpad. Hold the button and three-finger stretch or shrink the window in the same way in any convenient location. There is no need to aim the cursor to the edge of the window.
For both options, you can enable multi-colored box, which will be denoted by the border, but it seemed to me uncomfortable. Also it was seen strong enough delay between the movement of the fingers and drawing borders.
There are two other interesting features, one of which may be useful to those who have not yet updated to OS X Yosemite. Real Zoom - includes a full-screen view of a folder, or application by clicking on the green plus sign in the window title exactly as it is implemented in the latest desktop operating system from Apple. Real Close - closes the application completely by clicking on the red X in the title. That is, does not close the window itself, namely running application. But why do it - it is not clear, as there is such an option in the basic settings of the operating system.
On the one hand, there are two convenient shortcuts for working with windows, on the other - similar functionality to other similar applications. Yes, and the price is not the smallest for this type of utility. Perhaps if you have not bought something like Magnet, You should pay attention, in other cases it is better to wait for a discount or get acquainted with the free 15-day trial version of the application, which is available website developers.
