this looks nice, but what are the key strokes to use it?

#72704

:shy:

ALT+TAB

P.S: .NET routine what asks the current processes is very slow, keep ALT key hold down for 2-3sec in 333MHz machine...

#72705

I looks lovely in the screenshots, although even when I have the program running, alt+tab still calls up the standard XP switcher (which experiences slowdown). I have the latest .net framework installed and am running XP non SP1. Any suggestions?

#72708

Mines not working for some reason, alt tab doesnt even show up...

#72713

It's a good start, but it needs a little work. For example, having to enter every application you have open and use into that .ini file is just not fesible (at least for me).

#72716

It doesn't seem to work on my machine, I'm afraid... <_<

I'm on Server 2003, if that's any help, and I have Visual Studio.Net if you want me to do any debugging :shy:

#72729

dont do anything, it runs, it just doesnt do anything. I do have the powertools alt-tab installed if thats wroth anything. It looks pimp as hell, i hope you can get it working.

#72736

A great release, alas it doesn't work for me either. :(

Windows XP SP1a, 64MB RAM (700MB+ page file), 400MHz, Latest .Net

#72739

I have the same problem as alot of people. I run it, then use alt-tab, but nothing happens. Any suggestions anyone that has it working ??

#72743

roffle, mebbe you should fix it?

#72749

same here. xp . sp1.

even the alt+tab runs slower for some reason.

#72751

The problem you guys are having is that it only switches between applications listed in the .ini file. Try this: run the program, then open Internet Explorer, then open the command prompt. Now try ALT-TAB. The problem with the app is that you have to enter any application you want to switch between into the .ini file, which is a pain.

#72759

Well, that makes definite sense, but it still doesn't work for me...maybe it appears underneath the bigger Powertoy switcher and that's why we can't see it?

#72760

At last something to replace the ugly alt+tab with something mac'ish.

It gives me an unhandled exception when I try to launch it.

Also does it support 128x128 icons out of the .exe like y'z dock? If not it should.

#72761

Kurt871 - nope, no change here with command prompt, IE, and notepad all running.

#72762

any way this could be set, just to grab the windows that are open?

instead of only seeing those in the INI file?

how do i get it to detect Explorer Windows??

#72771

hrm

not working for me with explorer and ie... alt+tab doesnt pop.... after a few tries, the standard alt+tab pops in place.

#72814

Yaay! I made the icon, yaay!

Same here...

Any workarounds? it looks really promising!

#72897

Work good for me, very nice app :D and thanks (Y)

#72899

wow it really looks incredible and hope you keep improving it. GREAT WORK

#73007

This is a useful app.

It needs refinement before it becomes practical to use. Hopefully you don't burn out and can finish this. Asthetically it already looks real good.

1.) Less memory use 20 meg is not acceptable. Don't blame that on .net. framework You should be able to reduce the memory usage significantly.

2.) Having to enter apps in an ini is tedious at best.

3.) Not critical but center it on screen.

Good job so far.

#73114

it does not Work At all !!!! nothing nothing !!!! :(

#73170

Works great so far...

I like that you can also click the app you want to chose...nice addition.
