Zac-OS-9
The classic Platinum desktop, reborn for modern PCs
ZacOS 9 is a complete Mac OS 8/9-style desktop for Debian Linux, drawn pixel by pixel from scratch. The window manager, Sniffer file browser, menu bar and every control panel were written for it, so everything looks and behaves alike, down to the scroll arrows. Run Firefox, LibreOffice, GIMP and the rest of Debian (plus Flathub) in the Platinum look, start classic Mac OS in the built-in SheepShaver emulator with your own ROM, and share files with old Macs over AppleTalk and AFP. Try it live from a USB stick, then install it from the desktop. I built ZacOS for myself, wanting Mac OS 9's calm, simple desktop on a modern Linux system. Once it was good enough to live in, I decided to share it. It's free and open source (GPL), with no catch. Bug reports and ideas are welcome. An independent project, not affiliated with Apple Inc. No Apple code, ROMs, fonts or icons are included. -

Overlayer
Window management utility for Windows; turn programs into overlays.
A lightweight window management utility to help get the most out of your limited screen area, by (safely) giving you the tools to: add transparency to a window, force a window to be topmost/appear on top of all others, as well as shortcut toggle-able click-through, or "ghost widows", if you like, where all clicks pass right through it as if it weren't there. Sometimes you may only need one of these settings, but combining them together effectively allows you to turn any program into an overlay. For example, your games, or perhaps some documentation you were reading: allowing it to persistently stay on top of another window, without blocking out the content thanks to transparency, while also not having to worry about accidentally clicking on it, thanks to click-through ghost windows, but being able to interact with it when you *choose* to -- what you're left with, is a window with all of the attributes that make a dedicated overlay, and overlay, but present in an ordinary window -
