If you are not familiar with the Alt-Tab task switcher in Windows, Alt-Tab Thingy is a keyboard shortcut (hotkey) that enables fast switching between applications/ windows.

This feature has been in Windows since Windows 3.0 and is largely unchanged since Windows '95. Alt-Tab Thingy is a replacement that adds brand new features to help you switch tasks faster and more efficiently than ever before.

Here are some key features of "Alt-Tab Thingy":

· Use the cursor keys to make your selection
· Use the mouse & mouse-wheel as well as the keyboard
· System tray icon
· Drag and Resize windows by clicking anywhere on the window
· Window preview
· Can be disabled (handy for games players)
· Settings window for enabling/disabling features
· Informative tooltips
· Ghost windows!
· Auto Off feature (user controlled variable timer)
· Allows minimizing of windows to the system tray
· Monitors windows for change of caption/z-order/deadtray icons etc...
· Display resolution selector - easily change your desktop resolution in 1 click.
· Icon/List view
· Variable preview size
· Mouse wheel support
· Automatically minimizes or closes Explorer windows
· Blacklist feature removes apps from the task preview (right-click on them to enable)
· Access ATT with an alternate "Alt+Key" combination, without altering the standard Windows Alt-Tab function (use both at the same time!)
· Taskbar Previews - When you hover the mouse over a taskbar, you will see previews for open windows above the taskbar.
