Make Windows More Useful (and Fun) with WindowFX 4.0

PLYMOUTH, Mich., Dec. 15, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- PC owners looking to increase the functionality and creativity of their PCs need look no further as Stardock has released version 4.0 of its popular WindowFX software today (http://www.stardock.com/products/windowfx/).  WindowFX is a special effects program for Windows that allows users to add a variety of opening and closing, transition and other visual effects to the user interface.

WindowFX is the best way PC users can spice up their systems look-and-feel while still adding 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.

• Custom window animations
• Enhanced window resizing options when dragging to screen edges
• Eliminate distractions by drawing attention to the foreground window

• Window Flick mouse actions to customize window movement, maximizing, and monitor location
