Do you know how hard something like that would be on your system (especially with vista)?

On my XP systems I use a program called "TaskSwitchXP" to replace Alt+Tab.

regarding the link- gotta wonder about their sources.

what do you mean? TaskswitchXP?

I don't see why a youtube video is necessary- it works by replacing Alt+Tab- if you want to see what it looks like, install it- don't like it? Uninstall it, and it's back to the original.



Personally I never use the "flip3d" feature of vista to switch- I still stick with Alt+Tab, and since they finally changed that in vista I get functionality about the same as taskSwitchXP (also, I'm not sure if taskswitchXP would install on Vista anyway).

The neatest part of it is that it uses uxtheme, so whatever theme you have installed it will look like, and not just the window title/borders, but the entire window and elements. (I had Royale Noir installed and the program matched perfectly).


I'm not sure what you mean by "bottom toolbar", if you mean the taskbar/start button it doesn't change that, so I don't see the relevance of including it in a screenshot if only to confuse people.

Additionally- wether or not a program has a video on youtube doesn't reflect wether that program is good or not but more or less reflects how complicated it is. If it needs a video does that not imply that it isn't intuitive to begin with?

i really can't dowload this  i'm really carefull about what i download there's nothing i can get from any realiable sources telling me the program is safe  when i type in the program i can't hardly find nothing out about it can't even find any reliable sources telling me that the sight is safe i'm not talking about taskswitch shock earo

[BC_Programmer]

ahh, I see, in order for you to deem something "safe" you must have screenshots of the program that include the taskbar and also you must find videos on youtube created by god knows who god knows where demonstrating the features of an otherwise intuitive program.

if you cannot download programs just say so, but to use youtube and google image search to judge wether a program or web-site is safe is an exercise in both futility and naivety.

type in shock earo and look at like the first ten sights that pops up they just looks like virus sights to me there very small
that doesn't mean the program is bad but i can't find nothing much about it telling me it's safe

[BC_Programmer]

type in shock earo

I thought you were talking about taskSwitchXP...

I've never used, or even heard of "Shock Aero" myself. And in fact the technical limitations preventing it from being feasible at all (namely the fact that the XP desktop doesn't use DirectX, like Vista does) bring into question it's legitimacy as well.

ive tried it for a while before, it works nice. just....not good with low ram.
