Some folks are unsure what application is frontmost (active) at a given moment (because on Mac OS X different applications' windows can be interleaved, the "frontmost window" indication is not all that clear, you can close all windows and still be in an application, etc.

Some folks are unsure what application is frontmost (active) at a given moment (because on Mac OS X different applications' windows can be interleaved, the "frontmost window" indication is not all that clear, you can close all windows and still be in an application, etc.).

My mother is one of those people, and telling her to look at the "bold word next to the Apple in the menu bar" doesn't help. So I wrote this application for her.

It tracks what application is frontmost and tiles the desktop with the icon of that application, thus giving a subliminal visual indication of what application is frontmost.

Free. Tiger only.
