OS 9 Tabs 4 U

StickyWindows:

Sticky Windows is an utility for Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) which extends the tab browsing experience to the Desktop. Sticky Windows transforms your windows into tabs when you drag a window towards the edge of your screen. Providing you with a completely clutter-free workspace. By clicking on the tab the user can show and hide the window.

OS 9-style tabbed windows with any application, with any edge of your screen. Very nifty. Don’t bother watching the Flash demo though; it’s maddeningly slow.

If you’re really into tabbed folders, then check it out. But I have a few issues with it so far:

1. The windows don’t slide up and down from their tab location, they (very, very slowly) fade in and out from wherever they were before you docked them
2. If you dock a Finder window, clicking the Finder dock icon won’t create a new window for you, as it appears to think you already have one open
3. You can’t drag files onto it, have it spring-load and open and drop the file there. This is about all tabbed windows are good for (in the Finder, anyway)

I think i’ll be uninstalling it. But you might like it. If you’re a nerd.
