alt tab switching limit to 4?

[graysky]

Somehow, my SP2 install has limited the amount of applications that are displayed in my alt tab popup to 4. In other words, I have say 8 applications running. Instead of showing 8 different icons in the alt tab popup, it's only displaying 4 at a time. It does scroll through them, but this is annoying.

Anyone know if there's a reg tweak or something to change this? I'm not even sure how it happened.

Thanks all!

hi

try this

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop];8 columns by Five lines for ex.

"CoolSwitchColumns"="8"

"CoolSwitchRows"="5"

Yes, that one above is what you need to modify to your needs.

Maybe you got a pre-made regtweaks file from somewhere, and simply used it directly without seeing what is useful and not, to you....

Anyway, got this to add:

Apply that coolswitch tweak from cmdlines entry point, if you want to have it applied to all users. If you want to return to default settings, just delete the tweak related to it from your registry tweaks file.

Either that or just use TweakUI to change it to whatever you want for it to be.

they can use columns too?! *sigh* why can Micro$oft just let us change this in a cpl app or something? Then again, that wouldn't be MS would it?

P.S. Where is it in TweakUI?

P.S. Where is it in TweakUI?

Under the "General" setting under "ALT+TAB".

Not sure if you have to have the "ALTTAB" tweak or not for this to show up, but it's in the latest version that you can dl from M$.

*edit* See pic below:

version #2.10.0.0

*edit2* that's the default setting in TweakUI, I never change it.

btw, where did you get that theme?

It's called "Royal Black" not exactly sure where I got it from, the download for the tweak ui is here:

*Edit* The theme is called RoyalBlack 1.1 from Cavador, you can obtain it from "ThemeXP" or from his site Davdsoft,

which seems to be down @m.
