MinMaxExtender is a utility that enhances the standard windows, adding new buttons next to the Minimize button in the titlebar. Using the buttons, the user can stretch the window across the screen, hide it to a trayicon, hide all of the window apart from the titlebar or make the window stay on top of others. The user can exclude some windowtypes from beeing extended and choose which buttons to be visible.

French added to the supported languages.

2002 Sep 10

There are now a few language support files on the language download page. If you think you can provide other languages, please don't hesitate to try translating MMExt. Also had some suggestions on new functions. We really need to make a new GUI that works better with the various lengths of the localized controls. Since Windows doesn't resize buttons and controls according to the length of the text on them, some translated strings are clipped at the edges. We also want to make all options available on registry level available in the GUI, but it could get really messy if we don't make a new GUI.

MinMaxExtender is released in version 1.2.1.0. Compared to 1.2.0.0, this version can "un-stretch" windows, be translated into other languages and there has been a few bug fixes. You can get the zip-archive at the download page.

2002 Jun 07

Well, here we go again. This version has a quite nice behaviour when un-stretching windows. But the really sweet thing is that MMExt now can easily be translated into other languages. But since we don't speak very many languages our selves, we would apprechiate your help on this matter. If you speak another language than english, take a few minutes to translate the program and send your work to us. More information on this matter can be found in the zip-file. You can find language support files here. You can download the program here.

Some of the new features are in place and needs testing. And what better way to test an application, but to release it as a fresh new beta? So go ahead and download the new version and then let us know what you think.

2002 Apr 05

A little bug was found by a user and the TODO-list gets another one.

2002 Mar 26

Input and ideas from a user gets things moving again. The TODO-list is updated with new features and ideas.

2001 Nov 21

It had to be released sooner or later anyway, so why not now? The 1.2.* version has a lot more features than 1.1 had and several requests from users has been implemented. Find the file on the download-page.

2001 Nov 04

"Hmmm, wasn't there something we were supposed to do...", we were thinking the other day. After a while we came to think of MMExt, which has been unattended for quite a while. So we sat down and made a new beta. This beta should be more or less fully functional, if it isn't: let us know. Download here.

2001 Sep 14

New beta-release. This version can log its errors and should be a quite well-behaved application. Download here.

2001 Aug 01

Ready or not, here is the betaversion of MMExt v1.2.0.0. Download it and send bugreports to us.

2001 Jul 22

Well, the code is written and is brilliant and perfect in every way, now all we have to do is to figure out why it doesn't work... As can be seen on the TODO-list, version 1.2.0.0 will have a load of features that hopefully will make it less annoying and more useful. No more features will be added to this version. Debugging will take quite a while, then beta-testing and then, finally, we can release it in a couple of weeks (knock on wood). Keep suggestions coming in on what functions to add.

2001 Jul 04

The new release went back around the corner. Inspired by the rewrite of CMenuExtender, we decided to do some rewriting on MMExt aswell. It could take a while, but it will be a much better program. Stay tuned.

2001 Jun 07

Most of the new features has been implemented. A new release is waiting around the corner. TODO-list has been reduced a bit.

2001 May 09

Input and suggestions from a user stirs things up and we throw ourselves over the project anew. Now something might happen and a new version can be made. TODO-list gets some much needed new items.

2001 Feb 22

TODO-list updated and fixed some spelling.

2001 Feb 11

TODO-list updated.

2001 Jan 30

Version 1.1 is released. Improved UI and stablility and the Shade function are the most significant changes. Right now we have run out of ideas on where to take the project next. Unless users think of other functions or improvements, the project will probably not develop much further.

2001 Jan 29

Current development version is 1.1.0.0. A new function called Shade has been added for this version, after a suggestion from a user. MMExt still doesn't work with maximized windows. We made a fix for it, but it wasn't very useful. Another known problem appears when MMExt is used with several monitors, in which case the stretch-functions doesn't work properly. Also, by design a window can't be un-stretched. Unless lots of people requests it, those issues will remain. The config-window has changed a bit after users requests.
