Thanks for your comments.

vneumann, you rule! :woot:

I'm going to check this further, but iTunes no longer appears on the switcher?

#170606

Oooh, speed improvement in this version and a few bug fixes. Very nice vneumann. :) Thanks for the update.

A few more suggestions though:

  • AlwaysOnTop should be stronger (?) than other windows which may have onTop status.
  • Application name should be w/o extension so as not to require changing the name for apps that show up with their proper name.
  • Slightly more shadow to the centered text. Variable font would be cool too.
  • Application detection is a little bit flakey. I opened several notepad instances and only a few was detected.

mimeryme, did you see any instances of iTunes (assuming you use it heh)?

#170682

Sorry starforge, I don't use iTunes.

I do notice some trouble w/ a Firefox nightly (5/31) though. It either doesn't get focused when alt+tab-ing or doesn't let others get focus.

#170702

Thanks for this great application!

And because I really love it, I made something for it: :D

When you activate it, it minimizes all windows to the taskbar.

It's a little buggy, but it works (If it doesn't work, just restart it or wait a few secs ;) ).

Download

Note: As the app is hidden and I didn't want to make a tray icon, you can only close it using the taskmanager.

Do you use localhost's multi-plugin?

If so, do you have iTunes set to never be shown in the taskbar or Alt+Tab?

That's a good point, forgot about checking that one, but unfortunately it was already set to 'Always' show... the previous version of PantherSwitcher showed iTunes so its either the new version or I did something... :P

I'm guessing you use iTunes and it shows up for you?

This is just perfect. Thank you very much :rock:

Hey Really nice app!

I only have on issue at the moment, after about 2 seconds of testing. Outlook 2003 shows up OUTLLIB.dll and doesnt switch to Outlook when you select it. Any ideas?

Cheers,

Storm

is there a way to integrate this with the alt+tab application so that we wont have 2 processes for one app please?

#171246

I don't suppose anyone can help me with the iTunes instance not appearing? I know I've mentioned it already, but its just weird, the only app not showing up in the switcher heh

I even tried it on another comp to be sure

#171283

it makes my nexplorer crazy, then i have it on my tray, and then i start my nexplorer, the nexplorer's ini is modified, it only changes the skin name, from panther to somethink like "W$SDFE\ASD\RGrt"

How does this app show the desktop? I use an alternate shell and using this brings up the shell's menu (usually a right-click on the desktop).

Great job!!

But the link is dead.Would you upload it again? thank you very much!

#227412

Great App!

But it crashes sometimes when pressing Alt+Tab while nothing on the taskbar.

And... you developed it using VC, am I right? Do you mind sharing the source code?

#233694

#247058

Unfortunately I downloaded this program quite a while ago and it wasn't until just now that I tried it out......I recommend just searching on Google for it and I bet you'll find a link somewhere ;)

#247090

hey shuey,

can u please upload the program some where or just mail me to raminelit3@yahoo.com ?!

i would be very thankful:)

#247094

Actually, I don't think he mirrored it anywhere, google/dogpile/yahoo/etc all come up very, very empty.

A post from a mod would be nice...or I'd even sponsor some hosting space if that's what it takes. :) This app is pretty small.....

#247098

Hi Friends,

Any Kind Person would send the Panther switcher to me ?!

It is not Up...

My Email is Raminelit3@yahoo.com
