Vista: Flip-3D Window Changer or Switcher (ALT-TAB replacement) with Screenshot
Posted by Hack_Vista in Microsoft Vista
Alt-tab rocks. However, vista’s new alternative version (and keystokes) may interest a lot of people. See your tasks and windows in 3d and switch between them.
I love alt-tab, and the new vista alt-tab window changer switchie thing (does it have a real name) shows a tiny screenshot for each application. It’s very pretty.
Even better is vista’s alternative way to view your open windows. Flip-3d.
Hit winkey + tab
You can click the above picture to see a larger view.
Winkey + tab. Easy and cool. When you are holding winkey+tab to open the flip-3d window, you can use your mouse to select the window you want to come to the front. You can also use your scroll button on your mouse to cycle through the open windows.
Yes, flip-3d is a poor name. Quit whining.

hold win key, then hit tab. If you don’t release tab it will scroll like mad bud.

i made a program so you can flip through windows in the
Vista 3D window switcher
by clicking the scroll button on your mouse
i looked everywhere to do it but ended up having to make a program
so if you want it, just download it on the megaupload link and put it in your start up files
i looked everywhere to do this so i thought i’d put it up
