Lebendig adds snazzy, lightweight animations to your windows—like spinning a window as you launch it or fading out when you close it. It is a free Windows utility that provides a bit of eye candy to your window transitions. As you launch or close a window you can have it fade in or out, scroll down from the top of the screen, up from the bottom, or move from left to right or vice versa. There are about 15 transitions to choose from at whole. How windows look when they launch, or when they close or specify which types of windows you’d like to be affected  can be adjusted here. As an example, if you want program windows to use the default Windows animations while Explorer windows fade in and out, you can do that. Lebendig comes from the developer of DExposE2, an Exposé clone for Windows. And while Lebendig certainly isn’t the only tool that adds a bit of eye candy to Windows XP, it’s worth checking out for its low memory footprint. It tends to use 8MB of RAM or less.
