WindowTabs

A utility which brings browser-style tabbed window management to the desktop.

History

It was developed by Maurice Flanagan in 2009 and was provided as free and paid versions originally.
The author who no longer has time to maintain it has open-sourced it. See the original repository: mauricef/WindowTabs.

This repository is a fork of payaneco's repository which is from redgis'. Now, it compiles and runs successfully on both Win7 and Win10.
