Shake a window to make it top-most and transparent.Expand a window by double-clicking on its edges.Snap windows side by side like magnets.Dock windows to half screen and quarter screen.AquaSnap is a great replacement for the Aero Snap and Aero Shake features of Windows 7 and is compatible with every Windows versions and consumes very little memory and CPU. You can change whether it runs on start-up, and AquaSnap can also be used to port the Snap/Shake/Peek features to legacy Windows systems, where the program is likely to be most useful.It gives you the possibility to move and resize windows exactly the way you want, without losing a pixel, with simple gestures which makes you more productive. A useful but not killer feature.ĪquaSnap is an excellent customization tool that works well and didn't add any noticeable drag to system resources. You can adjust the transparency here, too, but this is most useful when you click and hold on a window to quickly see what's beneath it. Instead, it makes windows transparent when you drag them around the monitor. AquaGlass actually doesn't change or improve on Aero Glass. Users can toggle the transparency level and the shake sensitivity.
For some odd reason, the Snap features required a reboot before they worked, when the Shake and Peek ones didn't.ĪquaShake changes Aero Shake from minimizing all other windows to making them transparent. There's also a custom option, and it's multimonitor compatible. Where Aero Snap makes windows resize as maximized or to half the width of the monitor, AquaSnap adds in quarter-screen sizes. But that doesn't mean you can't tweak them, and for people who want more out of their Aero, there's AquaSnap.ĪquaSnap gives users fine-tuning control to change the Snap/Shake/Glass functionality, customize the Aqua features, toggle at will between Aero and Aqua, or disable them. They pop visually, they're fun to use, and most importantly, they're useful ways of managing windows. Aero Snap, Aero Shake, and Aero Glass do nothing less than make Windows 7 competitive with Apple's Mac OS X Snow Leopard on the window management front. Some of the best things about Windows 7 are the window-management tools under the Aero umbrella.
