Alt-Tab Thingy Changelog

What's new in Alt-Tab Thingy 4.0.4

Aug 31, 2009
  • Completely re-written in C++ v7.1
  • Now works with all versions of XP & Vista.
  • Dragging and resizing has been amended. The ALT key has been replaced with the CONTROL key. This is to avoid conflicts when using the ALT key with the task list. Also the user must now Double-Click the mouse (holding the 2nd click).
  • Mouse wheel integration: Move the scrollbar with the mouse wheel. Clicking the wheel (middle mouse button) toggles between moving the scrollbar and the highlighted selection.
  • Right-click menu: Sort the task list into different orders: Z-order, Alphabetical, Description, or Window Size. The taskbar and start menu can also be accessed from here. Handy if your the sort of user that has the taskbar on autohide and beneath other windows.
  • Holding the SHIFT key whilst selecting a resizable window (e.g. explorer) toggles between normal and maximized views.
  • The preview pane can now be either to the left (default) or to the right of the task list. Similarly, the caption bar (icon view) can be top or bottom.
  • Clicking the Alt-Tab Thingy icon will now open the task list (if there are no tasks running, the settings applet appears). If the Settings applet is already open, clicking the short-cut icon, or clicking Settings on one of the menus will cause it to re-appear.
