  Summary

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />This is a wonderful little app that anyone using OSX should use. Why? Because it picks up where (for some stupid reason) OSX left off. OSX in all its greatness let me down when it stopped doing some very logical things. X-Assist brings back some key features that simply makes our lives easier. My favourite feature by far is the ability to click on any window or palette of an application or the Finder and it will bring all of the windows/palettes to the front. For instance, an application like Hotline that has several small windows now comes to the front when you click on any window like the chat, file browser window, etc. In OSX it is simply too confusing as all your windows get mixed up (really idiotic). But now X-Assist helps take the confusion away and it greatly eases your life and improves productivity. It also has other very useful features too, although bringing an application to the front is to me nicest. This is a must-have app. Thank you Ortabe Pty Ltd for your continued support. And just to remind users of my erroneous post below, X-Assist does not let you double-click a window to minimize in place (like OS9), that app is called WindowShade and is now also available for 10.5, which is another must-have app. Great to have these utilities back - much appreciated.

• Works under Panther!

  This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />While I prefer ASM, X-Assist is actually working under Panther -- I don't have to wait for an ASM upgrade! My main complaint is that the application menu is to the left of all other menus, rather than the right where it belongs. (Perhaps it goes there under Jaguar, but under Jaguar I'd been using ASM).
