FW Editor: What are your plans or objectives in the near future?
Jorrit IJpenberg: With the growing popularity of netbooks and other small screen computers there is a good future for GiMeSpace and it will be further optimized for these computers.
FW Editor: How and when did you start writing the code for GiMeSpace Ultimate Taskbar? What inspired you the most? Do you plan to develop new software, or are you more focused on optimizing the current ones?
Jorrit IJpenberg: I was inspired when I bought my first netbook and my first thought was: Give Me Space... well that's what I did. If I find more things that could be usefull I will implement them as well.
FW Editor: Are there any know issues regarding GiMeSpace Ultimate Taskbar?
Jorrit IJpenberg: Some programs like winamp don't allow their window to be scrolled or resized at all. I can not do anything about that. That is how these programs are written.
FW Editor: How much can GiMeSpace Ultimate Taskbar enlarge a window? Is there any limit?
Jorrit IJpenberg: The limit is around 32000 pixels width and height. This is because of an internal limitation in windows. But I don't think anyone is considering this a limitation.
FW Editor: Why would you recommend GiMeSpace Ultimate Taskbar over a similar product or over multiple monitors?
Jorrit IJpenberg: I tried my best to keep the program as small and fast as possible. It is not taking as much system resources like other programs do and it's a lot cheaper then buying an extra monitor. But even if you have more monitors, it is still usefull to also use GiMeSpace.
FW Editor: Is it safe to use GiMeSpace Ultimate Taskbar? Is GiMeSpace Ultimate Taskbar modifying Windows registry?
Jorrit IJpenberg: Only your preferences are stored in the windows registry. It will not affect your system in any way.
FW Editor: What is your favorite GiMeSpace Ultimate Taskbar feature and why?
Jorrit IJpenberg: I'm really happy about the option to dynamically limit the size of te virtual desktop according to the possitions of the open windows. It prevents you from getting lost in space ;)
FW Editor: Now, to end our small interview, is there any message you would like to send to GiMeSpace Ultimate Taskbar users?
Jorrit IJpenberg: Enjoy your space! And thanks for using my program!
