Tweak your Windows animations with Lebendig
by Brad Linder May 18th 2008
Lebendig is a free Windows utility that adds a bit of eye candy to your window transitions. When you launch or close a window you can have it fade in or out, scroll down from the top of the screen, up from the bottom, or move from left to right or vice versa. Overall there are about 15 transitions to choose from, although to be honest, some of them looked pretty much identical to us.
You can adjust just how windows look when they launch, or when they close or specify which types of windows you'd like to be affected. For example, if you want program windows to use the default Windows animations while Explorer windows fade in and out, you can do that.
Lebendig comes from the developer of DExposE2, an Exposé clone for Windows. And while Lebendig certainly isn't the only tool that adds a bit of eye candy to Windows XP, it's worth checking out for its low memory footprint. It tends to use 8MB of RAM or less.

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