Looking for a way to conserve a few extra pixels of vertical space on your display? You might want to give WinSuperMaximize a look.
Launch the app and it minimizes to your system tray. To "super maximize," just tap win+F11 - a second press will bring the bar back. You can also right-click the tray icon to activate the effect, though sometimes it targets a window other than the currently active one.

That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

which would work on alternative shells like, say, Emerge... so it's not entirely Windows-only -- and Linux.
Am I the only one knowing about switching shells?

I trust everyone realizes his has been built into IE for about ten years. It's called kiosk mode.
