I love the program, but I was hoping for a little more of a mac feel, where you could move the mouse to the top left corner of the screen and get all windows to shrink together and top right to take you to the desktop... possibly something to think about for the next version

hey i know im a new user and this is probably REAL old but im experiencing a problem with this program, when i set a window to 3D the area aroud the window in a rectangle around it goes black, still in 3D, and wont move, it seems to be doing it after a full system scan and was working fine before, what could be the problem because i really like this program and dont want to get rid of it cause its broken =(

I was able to find the original website for this awesome program, but it looks like it is no long developed (last release 2/17/2003)...

but the good news is, the source code is there...any of you C++ gurus wanna have a go at it?

Madotate Source Code :)

edit: oooops just saw the source code was previously listed....

Cool program, I love the idea. The only gripe I have is when a window is in 3d mode, it doesn't update until you bring it out of 3d mode again. It would be wayyy cooler if it did, like you could use the program in the 3D mode. Oh well, still, A+ for effort.

A screenshot of my full translated version is here: http://davc73.free.fr/madotate/Translation.gif...

PS: do you know that moving 3D window with left mouse button also swaps "axes" when close to edges, in addition of "normal" actions (ie move or rotate 3D window with left and right buttons) ? This appz rules ! Especially 'coz it works even on my Win98SE ;)

Yeah, 3Mb RAM usage on my machine... :(

Oh well, as I say, I thought it was quite a good effect.  But as ThalSwe said, its not really practical I guess.

But I guess some people will like it. Personally I am a minimalist so I wont use extra programs unless I find them practical enough. And I also want to keep extra programs on a minimum to save RAM and CPU.

    • Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
