WinRoll is a really nifty program with a tiny footprint. It lets you minimize any window to the system tray, set the window as transparent, or roll the window into just the title bar.

Make a window roll into its title bar, send it to the back or make it stay on top. Minimize, maximize or close all visible windows, including minimizing to the tray area. Make a window translucent on Windows 2000 or above. WinRoll is lovingly hand-crafted in 100% pure assembly language to give the fastest response and the smallest memory footprint. WinRoll is proudly a FREEWARE and OPEN SOURCE application.

Couple of the commands:
  • middle click or shift+right click on title bar to make it transparent
  • alt+middle click on title bar to make all windows transparent
  • right click on the title bar to roll the window up
  • alt+right click to roll up all the windows
  • middle click on the close button to set the window always on top
  • shift+left click sends the window to the back
  • middle click or shift+right click on the minimize button to hide the window to the tray
