DR. GIRLFRIEND I've always been a huge fan of Afloat, but this new version takes the cake! Not only does it allow you to keep your preferred apps' windows on top, there's also a veritable treasure trove of extra features built-in, which allow you to work more productively. For instance, using the Afloat menu or a few simple keyboard commands, you can control the transparency of your windows, you can drag, move, or resize a window by grabbing it anywhere (not just at the title bar or lower right hand corner as OSX demands), you can make a window remain on the screen even if you switch Spaces, you can Overlay (i.e. make a window transparent and float so that your mouse clicks fall through the window and only affect the windows below), you can pin to the Desktop and more. This is one of those truly brilliant and amazing apps that, once you've used it, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it. The Drag/Resize Anywhere feature alone is a huge boost to my productivity - I work on large monitors with high res and being forced to grab that tiny lower right hand corner to resize really is annoying, not to mention painful, if it's done dozens of times per day. The only thing I don't like about Afloat is that: 1. It doesn't work with Firefox (unfortunately, but it does work with Safari, Bean, VLC, and any other Cocoa app) and 2. The developer doesn't have a "Donate" button on his website. He really needs to put one up. In fact, if Aloat weren't free, I would definitely buy it. It's that good. Thank you, Emanuele Vulcano, for this excellent app.
