Review: Zooom/2 for Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard
Author: willem In: apple, productivity, toolsWithout a doubt I’m adding Zooom/2 by CodeRage Software to my list of must-have Mac utilities (which includes applications such as Default Folder X, Dropbox, GeekTool, Growl, NTFS-3G, Perian and Quicksilver).
Zooom/2 is a Mac desktop utility that uses Apple’s public-approved APIs to redefine how you can resize, move and align your application windows - making you faster and more productive. The utility’s tagline sums up its functionality pretty well: “Window stuff, done right“.
Zooom/2 features
By default Zooom/2’s functions are available to all applications, but they can be disabled on an application-by-application basis.The following is a short video overview of the utility’s main features:
Move:
Windows can be repositioned by holding down a key combination and moving the mouse over them.
Resize:

Windows can be resized by holding down a key combination and moving the mouse over them.
Zooom:
Windows can be zoomed by holding down the Move or Resize key combination and double-clicking inside a window, effectively performing the same function as when the green buttons in their titlebars are clicked.
Raise:
Background windows can be raised (focused) by hovering the mouse over them.
Magnetics:
Windows can be docked against other windows, display edges, the Dock, the Menu Bar, or a grid that can be customized on a display-by-display basis.
Special offer for Geekology readers
Zooom/2 is available as a free 30-day trial or can be purchased for use on up to 3 machines for $14.95 USD (~£8.92 GBP / ~R110.83 ZAR).
