Niceify your Windows with Pitaschio

Pitaschio adds a few very basic window manipulation features to Microsoft Windows which probably should have been included in the first place. Essentially, Pitaschio tries to make Windows a slightly better neighborhood in which to live. With features which allow you to minimize regular windows to the system tray, keep windows from opening with any part outside the desktop area, window transparency adjustment using the scroll wheel and a whole list more, Pitaschio goes a pretty long way towards enhancing the rather bland set of features available for window management in the world's most common OS.
If you're unhappy with the weak feature set in Windows, Pitaschio could help close the gap.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

What the heck, he's making known a Windows app that will help you do some simple UI stuff.
Beside the point of the post, Windows does suck like hell.

Yeah, it sucks that I can get it to do everything that I want and need. Don't you just hate that?
Anyway, this program is pretty nifty.

My only problem with this program is that once you don't show the systray icon anymore you can't change the options, not even from the taskbar properties or by unistalling/reinstalling. Don't show the systray icon at your own peril.
