XNeat Windows Manager is a nifty little shell utility for WIndows XP and Vista that adds a few extra options to your taskbar, toolbar, and right-click context menus. For example, you can click on the toolbar of any window and set it to always display on top of other windows, minimize the window to the system tray, or hide a window from view entirely. You can also change the window's transparency level and behavior, or alter the priority of the window or the running process.

You can also use XNeat to change the appearance of your Windows taskbar by hiding elements like the start menu or the clock. You can even change the taskbar transparency/opaqueness level so that you can see through the taskbar to your desktop when it's not in focus.

These features are just the tip of the iceberg. There are so many things you can do with XNeat that the developers haven't even bothered to list them all on the product website.
