AltSwitch is an advanced replacement for the standard Windows Alt+Tab task switcher. AltSwitch lets easily navigate between tasks running on your computer using keyboard and/or mouse.
For each task a small preview image will be displayed, size of the preview image is adjustable. Task preview includes all task windows, even those that are floating palettes.
Previews are caching for faster drawing. There are two different styles of task preview � Fit and Desktop. If the Fit style is selected, task preview is zoomed or shrunk to fit the size of the preview area.
If the Desktop style is selected, task preview is displayed as it appears on the screen, Windows taskbar is optionally drawn.
