Sorry if I was unkind. And thanks for the tips. I'll give it a try.

Hope things are better now for you.

So then what now, Partner? I tried to refresh and stuff, still no success

EDIT: hold on, pressing Ctrl-F5 did the trick, the page was cached in the proxy at my company, all ok now

The download link is wrong, looks like you are watching an outdated page. Press F5? Correct link:
http://redllar.virtualplastic.net/files/fungusTabs011.zip

This fungus thingie is very nice. I find it to be very helpfull organizing windows around becuase you can connect windows that logicaly belong together. Yesterday I used it to connect Sound Forge with help file of some Virutal Instrument I was examing. It is much better solution then choosing what icon to click between Sound Forge, Adobe Acrobat Reader, Total Commander, Opera.... etc... Can easy the pain in such situations.

I think that all those cool thingies should be done as plugins to some application like DM2. It will be much smaller becuase parts of the interface will be left on DM2 and we will have all goodies on one place. Is anybody interested there to extend it ? DM2 is excellent choice becuase it is as small as such upp can be, as fast as it can be, and I communicate every day with original author and that can be helpful.

I guess I am too optimistic for this... Lefteous maybe, Sheep ? Anybody ?

Wiz idea - go for it. While you're talking to your DM2 buddies, could you also ask them to tweak it to allow customisation of the "PlacesBar" that appears on the left side of the Open and Save dialogs in most applications? TIA.

Everyone is dreaming about an all-in-one solution, me too.
But, is DM2 really the best solution and can it fulfil all (my) wishes one day?

DM2 is missing many features, just to name a few:
1. X-Window moving - drag windows no matter where cursor is placed, used in Winamp for example - realized with Nuonsoft ShellEnhancer here that offers a hitload (doo, this [f]uckin' filter sucks) of other features as well, but it comes in a 2MB package
2. Resize open/save dialogs - DlgXRSizer (in my filestore) is unbeaten till now, but also big package
3. Resize all windows and dialogs - realized by ResizeEnable here

So, although I like DM2's features, at the moment I am not using it because the apps mentioned above I have to use anyway. In combination they also give me all those features from DM2 I need, stuff like always on top, minimize to tray, etc...

Before I forget:
There's nothing more I hate than fiddling around with dialog box style like in DM2. I would really love to see it present itself in a decent normal window which can be maximized. So, majki, let your contact glow.
