this is awesome, the right click menu is easy to decipher:

(L) - Lower? all windows to 3d mode

® - Return all windows to 2d mode

(S) - Settings

(A) - About

(X) - eXit

i only wish there was a way to replace the "minimize" function with 3d mode ... i wonder if that could be done in with a new visual style .... hmmm would make a good compliment to shell replacements or themes that have no sidebar ... maybe an osx-like dock and 3d mode as opposed to the taskbar would kick ass, but only if you could automotically go to 3d mode when minimizing or removing a window from focus...

I hope some person who knows both the English and Japanese language can translate this program fully.

Hey wait! I was looking at the original Japanese Modotate web site when I saw an English translation for it, but the links are either long gone or dead. I hope I can find the person who intially translated it, so we can tell him to come here and help us translate it for "Windows X" and the rest of us :) .

You really have to admire these Japanese people. They are able to create such wonderful graphics programs for Windows (first it was Y'z Dock, now it's Modotate).

A.K.R., that's an old version. To translate this program fully, I need to recompile his source which I don't think it's neccessary to do because we can guess menu and things we can't are translated so I don't see any point except making a full translate for things we've known already.

While things like this look pretty cool, exactly how useful is it... I mean, its meant to save space right? But when the windows are still open it is taking up space on the screen, space which cannot be used until the program is restored to its normal state (why would you work on an application that is alphablended and its shape has been modified, not very practicle). Whats wrong with minimising to the taskbar?

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
