You can also set up exclusion lists to ignore specific applications and automatically hide tabs when only a single window is open.

You have limited options for customising the appearance of the tabs in terms of transparency and the size of the preview window when clicking and dragging a tab. The free version of the software allows you to manually group up to three windows together by clicking and dragging the tab of one window on top of another - this can be a little fiddly to get right at first, but persevere and you'll soon get the hang of it. TidyTabs cleverly combines multiple windows into a single tabbed window, with the tabs displayed semi-translucently across the top of the main window – just click on a tab to bring it into focus. TidyTabs is one of those rare breeds of apps that spots a small, but noticeable gap, in Windows, and fills it with an elegant, straightforward solution. Ever found yourself drowning in a sea of open windows on your desktop? Remember how the web browser revolutionised the way you viewed the web by introducing support for multiple tabs instead of waves of windows? Wished Windows offered that kind of feature? You need TidyTabs.
