New improved version of the widget tab replacement

This is a simple program (for Windows only) that sits in the system tray.
It can grab your Opera widgets, move them away from the task bar, and display them inside their own space (kind of similar to the widget tab in Opera 9 beta 1).

At startup the program grabs all your Opera widgets that are set to display normally. The widgets that are set to display always on top or always below are left alone. Later you can grab more widgets by selecting this option from the context menu of the tray icon.
To display the widgets, left-click on the tray icon, or press Ctrl+Shift+F6.
To hide the widgets, press Ctrl+Shift+F6. The widgets will also be automaically hidden as soon as they no longer have focus.

The background opacity only works for Windows 2000 or newer.

You need the .NET 2.0 framework installed on your computer to run this program.

Right-click on the links below, and choose 'Save taget as...' to download the files to your computer.

Thank you very much for this. I just changed the source to not hide the widgets upon grabbing (ie. commented out one line) and it now works exactly how i want
