We are looking into number 1.

Number 2 is resolved in our internal build and hopefully will go out as 1.01 in the future.

The upcoming 1.01 update has an option to only show the taskbar button for the active window in any tab group so that addresses number 3.

Number 4 : Yes, applications without a titlebar at all such as steam cannot be grouped.

Number 5 : Is there anything in particular you are looking for?  We have added in the upcoming 1.01 build the option to pick a colour for inactive tabs and the tab bar.

Number 6 : You can drag between tabs by dragging over the tab of another window, pausing a short time and then the tab should switch.  Having reread that, if you are dragging from the WinRar app itself that may not be detected.  Drag & drop detection is specific to explorer only.

Number 7 : I am unclear on how you moved the files.  If it was via drag & drop, it is possible that the original window requested focus after dragging was complete.

Thank you for answers.

1, ok

2, nice

3, great

4, ok no big deal

5, yes some way to color

6, too bad , because when i drag file from winrar app and drag that file over explorer icon on taskbar that window come to focus , when i drag file over grouped explorer tab nothing happen , please look into this, i even try group winrar but from winrar to file explorer it dont work but other way from explorer to add to winrar drag and drop work

7, i test with groupy off and i drag and drop files from file explorer to FileBot and FileBot stay in focus , when moved with Groupy on between tabs FileBot lose focus and i see original explorer window (but files are added)

To add a little to #5, Groupy's "Flat" tabs are fine under Win8/10, but under Win7 they just don't jive with the basic Aero theme. Any options to make this look a little more "Native" in Win7 would be greatly appreciated.
