TRex adds the following useful enhancements to Delphi 3:

Window Menu. A new Window menu is added to the Delphi 3 IDE menu bar, and lists all open IDE windows so that you can switch between them instantly. Save yourself from hunting from windows and forms that have disappeared under the code editor. This is especially useful when you're working on packages - the package editor has a tendency to depart into the background.

Component Tabs Popup Menu. Is your component palette get a bit overweight? Do you have too many tabs to fit and have to click on the irritating tab scroll buttons to get to the tab you want? The component palette popup menu has been enhanced by listing all the component tabs. Just right click on the component palette and choose the tab you want from the popup. A real timesaver.

Multiline Component Tabs. An alternative solution to the burgeoning component palette, this option makes the component palette tabs wrap on to multiple lines if the tabs don't all fit.
