Does this put the wallpaper over the top bar as well? I'd really like that.

I can do that in an update, definitely.

It will be a "tap on screen" type deal, to maximize over and back. This way users have a choice. Sometimes you want to see the top bar as well.

It's just a window so when you have multiple cards open, you can move it wherever you like, and when you put your cards into a minimized view, you can see your wallpaper.

Some people like to swipe all their cards away (for a neat and tidy screen), others like to leave them open for quicker access. This provides a way to combine both options.

There's an update that being pushed which adds full screen support. Tap when card is maximized and you can go back and forth from full screen to notification bar.

Kewl app. Any possibility of it being scalable, so that it can work with a change in size of cards? Please refer to -> http://forums.precentral.net/hp-touc...ke+cards+small

I'll take a look at it. May be possible, may be too much. No promises.

Man I was hoping this was Clearview flight sim. Not really. Nice job.

I have some questions about this app.

How do you make the invisible card back to visible? Something like close Clearview app from notification bar?

Does this app work when patch "bigger active screen when minimized" is installed?

Thanks.

What's the difference between this app and something like Multipane or Panefree?

For the main use of "invisibly" seeing the background, they're all similar. clearview works only on the TouchPad, while Pane Free will only work properly on the older phone devices. Multi Pane has and will continue to be updated for all official webOS devices (phones and tablets). Multi Pane also adds numerous other options like opening up multiple cards, the option to show time, day, and/or date, and the option to use it in Exhibition Mode as well. There are also (as of today and clearview 1.9.7) a couple of situations that clearview still doesn't handle seamlessly. clearview does also offer a full screen view when the app is maximized that neither Pane Free nor Multi Pane offers.
