Feature = Now you can Shake a window by clicking the MMB (Middle Mouse Button) on its Title Bar. Feature = You can Peek by clicking the MMB at (the right of) the clock in the Taskbar. Feature = You can Show Desktop by double clicking the MMB at (the right of) the clock in the Taskbar (hold Shift to Reset). Feature = And you can use PeekTop by clicking the MMB on the X-Button in the Title Bar of a window. Feature = When peeking through all windows, you can make a window reappear by clicking the MMB on its border, or on the ToolTip showing its Title. Feature = Added HotKeys for Show, Shake, Reset, Peek and PeekTop. Bug fix = Solved the problem that under rare circumstances an active "Normal" window would become "Always-On-Top" after having used Shake or Show Desktop. Bug fix = Solved a visual glitch when switching between Peek and PeekTop with "Always-On-Top" windows present. Improve = The Taskbar Peek function even shows SnapShots of programs that don’t follow the default Taskbar behavior (older versions of Adobe Reader). The Taskbar Peek function is similar to the true Windows 7 Aero Peek function, making it possible to Peek at a window, just by hovering over its Taskbar Button: when clicking the Middle Mouse Button on one of the program buttons, all other windows are Peeked, leaving only the desired one to look at. You can use this to quickly find a window in real size, making it easier to see the differences between two windows. Or maybe you just want to take a Peek at one without actually switching to it. By hovering over a Grouped Taskbar Button, its menu automatically opens, so you can Peek at these windows too. Even minimized windows can be Peeked at!... As long as they’ve been open long enough for WinShake Control to take a SnapShot of them, that SnapShot is being shown in real size on the position where the window was when the picture was taken. And when you click on a SnapShot, the actual window is restored. This Taskbar Peek function however is not completely free to use anymore... I hope you will find it worth a little bit!... :) But first you can try it of course, so... Enjoy the program! Freddy Hello again! :)

I just uploaded a big new version 1.50 with many improvements. The main new features are: - full Vista compatibility and - an all new function called PeekTop: this makes the active window semi-transparent (level can be set), so that you can work with it and read what's underneath at the same time. When there are "Always-On-Top" windows that might block your view, they are Peeked. But there's more and... it's on my new [url="http://members.chello.nl/h.h.j.f.beens/WinShake/WinShake.htm"]WinShake Web Site[/url]! :) So... go and have a look! ;) And let me know what you think! And to "[b]Sathya[/b]": I know exactly what you mean and... I'm working on it! :) But it isn't easy, so... be patient! ;) Fred Hello again!

Aero Peek is a tremendous productivity boost for someone like me, who has atleast 10 windows open at any time. Sadly I can't install Win 7 beta, and get the retail version when its out on my office laptop and thats a bummer :( So coming back to my Q - any app which can do a Win 7 Aero peek in XP ?

How to change the text and screen colour of shut down screen in win xp? 2. How to change the color of welcome screen ? I have changed the welcome text in win xp as per your instruction, it is work fine. 3. Where can i find the winlogon in regedit? I want to point the winlogon which i edited " winlogon1 " This is what i followed from the web. You don't need to overwrite the file. Just make a copy and edit, then, in the registry, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon. There's a string value "UIHost", pointing to logonui.exe. Just make the path point to your edited file and you're done. Thanking you. 1. How to change the text and screen colour of shut down screen in win xp?
