Rainer Brockerhoff releases Klicko 1.1; blocks click-through, maximizes - Published on 02/17/09

 

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Rainer Brockerhoff has announced version 1.1 of Klicko, a small freeware utility that blocks undesired click-through in application windows. Klicko is a System Preferences panel written in Cocoa. It doesn't hack the system, other applications, inject code or do anything magic. Now you must first click anywhere inside a background window to bring it to the front. Klicko also has two other convenient functions: window maximizing and bringing all windows of some application to the front at once.

 

Belo Horizonte, Brazil - Rainer Brockerhoff has announced version 1.1 of Klicko, a small freeware utility that blocks undesired click-through in application windows. In the Classic days, if you wanted to use a window that wasn't frontmost, you could click anywhere on it to bring it to the front. Mac OS X introduced a feature called "click-through" where certain controls, like the "traffic-light" buttons in the window title, would work even for background windows. Applications can also make other controls, or even the entire window, work with click-through.

 

If you, too, think click-through is inconsistent and annoying, Klicko will be useful.
