Alt-Tab Thingy Editor's review

Alt-Tab Thingy is a free tool that replaces the venerable Alt-Tab function, also known as the Task Switcher, in Windows. Alt-Tab Thingy is a much more capable and flexible tool. It still lets you switch rapidly between programs and windows, but it's highly customizable, with numerous settings and options, and it adds some useful extras. It breathes new life into an old Windows feature.

Alt-Tab Thingy's system tray icon accesses its two main interfaces; one is an extensively tabbed Settings dialog, the other an enhanced version of the Windows Task Switcher box with an optional Preview Pane. The Settings include everything from Taskbar Preview and Minimize Switch to a Black List of programs excluded from the Task List and a Ghosting slider that configures window opacity. There are lots of neat little options to set, such as one that automatically minimizes a window to either the task bar or system tray when you select another window. Among other functions, we could change our display settings, disable the need to press the Alt key, set our own alternative to the Tab key, set the mouse scroll wheel to move highlighted areas instead of the scrollbar, change icons and program views, and automatically close or minimize any Explorer window that goes inactive for a predetermined time.
