WindowFX allows users to choose between a wide range of transition effects. When a window is minimized or maximized, it can morph into view. Stardock has gone to extensive lengths to make this more than eye candy, on a reasonably good modern video card, there should be no performance hit whatsoever when a window is maximized or minimized (ATI Radeon, Matrox G series, nVidia Geforce series with latest drivers). When a user clicks on minimize, a fluid effect takes place that on such systems will not interrupt the flow of work. Windows XP supports very nice, alpha blended icons. As a result, many icon authors have begun making 48x48 sized icons which look more detailed and nicer. The problem with 48x48 sized icons is that their size is a detriment to screen real-estate. WindowFX is the first and only program that allows users to have 48x48 icons just on the desktop while keeping the standard 32x32 sized icons everywhere else. WindowFX has been designed to be a great way to spice up your system while still adding some productivity benefits (such as maximizing windows to a specific size). Unlike many programs that fall into the "eye candy" category, WindowFX strives to not get in the way of doing real work on the computer.
