- rodrigo74, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12I would rate the one that allows you to drag the tasks in the taskbar around even higher than this one
http://www.digg.com/software/Drag_and_drop_your_Windows_taskbar_buttons_ - iLEZ, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Sweet, but wake me up when it works with Classic.
- ninjakarl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Noticed that it doesn't work with Java apps (OpenOffice), also doesn't work with Gaim conversation windows.
- olliholliday, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8doesn't work unless it's seen an application maximised, or with java apps, or with apps that are grouped on the taskbar :(
other than that pretty good. - lonnieh, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10I digg, but I would be a bit suspicious. Odd that they would use a proxy registrant to obtain a .com, but I'd say they're just avoiding any software patent issues.
- MichaelW2, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8no joke
- yensed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I just use the powertoys Alt+Tab.
- freekz_8, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Batiu-Drami,
I'm not quite sure, but maybe some directly linked to the file on another site. But that's just my guess. - Chakz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Same, Are there any alternatives that work with the classic theme and are lightweight?
- Technopundit, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6The first good practical Windows addition I've seen in some time.
- montanna, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5rodrigo,
Try this one instead. I found it a little more unobtrusive.

Just a little more mind you. Thanks to shablinky for the link. - ataxiaverge, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8The website should definitely note the lack of Classic Theme support.
- adolfojp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5If you like elegant and unobtrusive...
You can use something like this: http://www.deviantart.com/view/20901820/
if you patch windows with something like this: http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=140707
and it works with this this app. :-) - plingboot, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5agreed. spent 5 minutes scratching my head over that and now uninstalled.
- adolfojp, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6This is great! Now my taskbar matches my opera web browser!
- tehbio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The simple fact that unused memory is wasted memory.
Personally I have 2GB of RAM on my desktop and I am rarely ever using over 1GB. Tools like these just let me use my unused and wasted RAM on things that make things look and feel better.
However, I could easily understand your question in the situation of a lower-end PC, but I do not think the target of these tools are meant for the users of those PCs. - ThePharaoh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I'm using bbLean and got the same thing. Looks really cool, but it only works if you're using Explorer.exe as the shell...
- chrisrowe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Clean crisp, doesnt require restart.
Small footprint, no splash screen
only nag is a small bug when previewing videos
great work - Cmain, on 10/12/2007, -6/+9Very, very cool. Its memory usage is around 5,000 so not horribly bad. I'm liking it and it is such a small installer.
- TheProfessional, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I didn't see this already mentioned, but...
"Now on win xp and being tested on vista."
Why would they need this on vista? It is already built in. - noof, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Hm, doesn't work for me even if I switch to luna theme :(
- Ace128, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Gotta love how all those new things in Vista will become obsolete when its finally released! :)
- mrbleu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Works with Excel for me...! Just not with MediaPlayer, VLC or Java apps
- brownspank, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I've been using TaskSwitchXP, which IMO works better than Alt-Tab Powertoy. Site is down ATM, though.
http://www.ntwind.com/taskswitchxp/ - SmeRndmGy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I like it. Not a resource hog at all. Does what it says it will do.
- Settra, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6Yep, pretty powerful program right there.
I use it too, much better than some crappy program, who uses mouse anyway? :p - swazooe, on 10/12/2007, -9/+11This is awesome.
- Lomi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4At this rate my whole desktop will look exactly the same with winxp and vista when it is released... almost makes me wonder if I should even bother upgrading. Oh right, there is all that stuff they aren't releasing for winxp and the eventual lack of support for winxp.
- x3n1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Thanks for the pointer. As a KDE user, this would be great to have built into KDE natively...
- tobiasproject, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2doesn't work with my excel window.. everything else so far though
- darkmotion, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4wont work cause im not using the default style..
- brownspank, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Me, neither, even after I switch off Taskbar Shuffle.
- piesforyou, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2heh. Installed, then remembered I'm using GeoShell. Doh! hehe.
- gypsyjoe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3"By using Visual Task Tips you will significantly increase your workflow productivity."
Yeah, right. - brownspank, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Nope.
- astrotrain, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Lets make XP look like Vista....wooo hoo....
eh...it happened when folks waned WIN98SE to look like XP...
LOL - tlink211, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Very nice.
Power Toys Alt Tab shows the same black window as Visual Task Tips.
Mozilla Sunbird works, that's a plus. - weiran, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Pretty well polished app, just needs to be able to show minimised windows and allow users to adjust the delay (I'd probably put it on 0).
- beggersfunk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2LOL!
- alucardx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1not really sure how useful this feature (including the similar one in vista and osx) is. is this for people that have a worse memory than i do?
- shakeyshakey, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Very stylish and useful.
+ digg - GS13, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Pretty damn cool
- eldenno, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Simply put.. awesome. Anything which makes the windows interface look better is a good thing. Watching the digg effect on the sites counter for visitors and downloads is brilliant too lol.
- x3n1, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I'm using KDE 3.5.2 but did not know that... can you please tell me how?
- KnightMareInc, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3gonna try it out.
- jbus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2@ x3n1
Search for "taskbar v2" on kde-apps.org - chrisrowe, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3Im not using default style, using one I created but still works fine
- Hurricane, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2Unlike most XP "utilities", it works, it is usable AND it doesn't crash or bog. double digg
- allancorbett, on 10/12/2007, -8/+7http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/6045/picture27pa.png - same thing?
- Settra, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3No, you should.
