I'm going to make it myself.
podcast-host
I used to use drag thing for this drag thing.
podcast-host
There's no more.
podcast-host
I used to use a bunch of other apps for it.
podcast-host
They're also gone.
podcast-host
I'm going to have to make this myself.
podcast-host
So front and center was the first one, like the simplest little app you can possibly imagine.
podcast-host
And then switch glass was the second one and drag thing.
podcast-host
People don't know back in the day, both on classic Mac OS and on Mac OS 10.
podcast-host
um lets you put make like these little palettes on the screen with stuff in them and one of the kind of palettes you could make was an application switcher palette and also just as a side inside the drag thing settings there was like a check box that said and by the way make a mac os 10 look work like classic mac os when clicking on windows so the features front and center used to be in drag thing and the features of switch glass used to be in drag thing and drag thing did tons more stuff too but i'm like these are the features that i missed the most from drag thing i missed
podcast-host
The front and center thing, which is when you click on a window for another app, what happens is it brings just that window to the front or all the windows.
podcast-host
They changed that behavior in Mac OS X. I could never get used to it.
podcast-host
Both behaviors are useful, but I wanted to have the option to use one or the other and switch between them by shift clicking, which is what drag thing gave me.
podcast-host
So I made front and center.
podcast-host
Switch glass, I wanted a little application switcher.
podcast-host
Why do you want that?
podcast-host
Don't you just use the dock?
podcast-host
It's just, I just could not live without it.
podcast-host
I just got used to it.
podcast-host
The dock has stuff besides other apps in it.
