App icons when alt - tab

I alt - tab between the applications of hundreds of times every day.  The thin frame around the selected application is a little too thin, too transparent.  Y at - it a setting that I can do to make the selected app outline when alt-tabbing in a dark thick and obvious?

Hello

Welcome to the Microsoft community.

I see that you want the images selected for alt tab to be more visible and more thick.

We cannot change the size of the image, but you can change the theme to see if it seems to be more visible.

  • questions to alt tab with some applications

    It's really a question of two parts:

    Application 1: version of Office Internet Explore (1 or more tablets, 1 or more windows).

    Application 2: steam (steam main window, steam client chat [optionally]).

    When alt tabbing in IE-> steam works as expected.

    However, when alt tab in the main window of steam is to the last position right before the "desktop" and not the first. Pretty frustrating.

    If you open the main window and instant messaging client this does not happen on the steam chat client - sometimes, othertimes it does.

    It appears when the steam main window is closed and then reopened, sometimes both - but if the main window is opened first, then the IM client, it won't happen on the instant messaging client.

    Seems pretty random when it happens and if you open another application the problem disappears for a while - generally I see when opening of Netflix, steam + chat client and no other applications.

    Has anyone else seen similar behavior or found a potential solution?

    In addition, in win 7 there was no way to leave native alt tab features and just delete the entry "desktop" in the alt tab / windows tab (except the key "reg" to return to the menu older alt - tab style).

    It is not that it can remove all leaving the normal alt tab win 8? That admission has always been a very great pain, esp since you can simply mouse over the lower right or use win + M to get the same results.

    I'm wondering for months why Steam was having this behavior, yet no one I talked to that had the same problem. Thank you for alerting me to the fact that it is a modern application problem. I'm usually the Mail app open in the background, so I always had this Alt + Tab behavior for a long time and thought it was quite a problem for Steam client.

  • When I open an app for g-mail tab how to display the icon of g-mail instead of a folder icon?

    I wish I could say all my tabs app apart in the blink of an eye.

    Thank you

    Ross.

    Open the Gmail tab and then click on the gear in the top icon on the right. You will see a dropdown menu with "Settings of Gmail" and "Gmail Help Center" as an option. Select 'Settings of Gmail' and the web interface will be charge for a few seconds. You will see then some options, with tabs to select other options.

    Select the "Labs" tab and then scroll through it. Find one called "unread Message Icon" and then turn it on. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click "save changes". You may need to hold control and press F5 to perform a 'hard' of the page refresh, so that the new favicon appear.

    The two images that I attached will explain if all goes well. Note that the image of the tab in my browser has been cut down a bit so that my email address is not visible. I hope this meets the task you wanted to, because I've never seen a record for my app - never the favicon tabs.

  • Recent Ms update causes of lag when you use win + L, alt + tab to switch apps or ctrl + alt + delete

    Lately, we updates Microsoft has introduced some lag in my system.  I did a restore of last week, the 10th and it was fixed, and the last round of updates automatic introduced the problem again.  Basically, here's the question: when I hit win - L to lock the machine, I get a good 10-20 second delay before it crashes, even with nothing running.  Same with ctrl-alt-delete, or when I alt - tab to go a game of running a browser open.  Now I realize that some of them are more intensive applications in resources, but I could do all these things before the updates almost instantly.  I don't know what are those who have caused the it.  Has anyone else seen elsewhere?

    For the record, I use Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit on a Core2Duo built home 3 GHz with 8gigs of ram box.  GeForce 8800 GTX w / 768 MB of ram at 1600 x 1200 on the screen.  So go to a window of the Explorer browser should not really be a problem.

    It is a new installation of 64-bit, and Security Essentials is the only anti - anything produced, I had about it.  In fact, to my embarrassment, I fixed the problem shortly after the announcement of my question.  I did a full system scan, it finds a couple of trojan files (probably my uh...) "inprivate browsing"). "  After their withdrawal, I once more lock the system instantly, immediately pull the Task Manager and change fast application.

    Thanks for the tips.  I would normally uninstall updates one at a time, but I was looking forward to kind of and thought that I would use a shotgun instead of a scalpel.

  • Unidentified icon appeared in the Alt - Tab

    Referring to the picture above, the red/yellow/blue icon appeared in my 'Alt - Tab' profile.  Unlike any other icon in the list, it has no description when selected and has no obvious purpose.  Selection, it does nothing.  Everything is linked to does not appear on the Task Manager.  I have no idea why it appeared, or that she can relate to.  So I'm concerned.  Anyone can get an idea?

    This generic icon is usually a window off the screen (the operating system and programs use often, at some point, that you normally have hundreds of them out of sight, tasks and working with the system).  The first thing I would do is just reboot and see if it comes back.

    If she comes back, you can identify it by opening the program MSCONFIG and reseraching the "Startup" tab to find the program that represents.

  • Windows flashes when scrolling on in the task bar, Alt - Tab does not.

    OK it drives me absolutely crazy. for these past few weeks, my taskbar and alt - tab has been broken. When I move the taskbar of the program im trying to open just blinks but never actually maximizes.  I noticed that it only flashes I have my cursor over the icon. But if I leave it right on it to open its own it never made. Alt - Tab is also the exact same thing (which makes me assume that the question is related.) I click on buttons and pop-up windows, but does not open anything.

    I looked around and I know that this question emerged with a reliablitiy of windows there are few up-to-date kb977074, but wasn't in my update list. SO I now have no idea what to do. Ive played around with the parameters monitored for defective or damaged files, and really, I don't want to have to do a system restore. especially since ive restored my computer and he was doing it before I updated. so... ideas would be very appreciated.

    Thanks in advance :)

    Hello

    Welcome to Microsoft Community forum.

    I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue.

    1. You have installed all the programs, application or updated before the show?
    2. How did you check the defective or damaged your system files?
    3. Do you receive an error message or error code while using the taskbar?

    Try it out below mentioned methods and see if it works for you.

    Method 1

    Try to perform a full scan of your computer using Security Microsoft Scanner.

     

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

     

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

     

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Method 2

    If the problem persists, I suggest to check the integrity of the system and for this you may need to run the SFC (System File Checker).

    Scan SFC will be scans all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

    How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

    1. Go to Start, click all programs and open the Accessories.
    2. Right-click on command prompt in the list programs, and then select run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click OK.
    3. In the command prompt, type the following command and press ENTER:

    sfc/scannow

    Hope it would help. If problem persists always post back with the current state of your computer, the information required and the result of proposed suggestion, we will be happy to help you.

    Thank you.

  • Custom in the alt - tab popup icon

    I was wondering if there is a chance to see a custom icon, even in the alt - tab popup (in mode "non-aero").

    After that I changed the icon of the application pinned to the taskbar without problem, removed the IconCache.db file and rebooted the system, the alt - tab pane always displays the icon of the original application.

    Hello

    I see that you want to set a decorative custom of Alt + Tab . However, the definition of a custom icon on a superposition of Alt + Tab is not possible.

    Kind regards.

  • Boring to ALT + TAB behavior

    Hello

    I have a suggestion to change some features of the app, beacause even now when it is in the status bar when I ALT + TAB it shows the list of active applications. I often use this combination to switch between the two only widnows but ReadyCloud is very often in the way. I'd love to see it being fixed.

    Hi relains,

    Your idea to improve the quality and functionality of the application is very much appreciated, and we thank you for sharing your interest in it. I also found this behavior a little weird and I hope that we can make improvements on how the application correctly read on PC. If I were you, I'll post another thread to the exchange of ideas Board so that our development team can consider this request.

    Kind regards

  • Found a solution for Alt Tab does not

    This isn't a question but a solution that took me about a month to find.  Always found Alt Tab to change the programs does not work, and when I flew over the bar at the bottom of the screen, the picture postage stamp of the application would be flashes on once before disappearing.  Sometimes, I could simply not an application open to maximize.

    Usually I use my HP laptop to a workstation, but when using it in another place, noted that the problem had disappeared.  Figured there was something on the workstation.  Tried to return to the job and work through a process of trial and error found was a Logitech USB Skype speaker.  It is a fairly old model - may 2007 - I got as a freebee when I bought a PC.  It does seem like Windows 7.  Disconnected and there is no other problem.

    Hope this helps someone else.

    We all love the good old Windows Alt + Tab feature to quickly switch between open windows. Although Windows Vista and Windows 7 provide Flip 3D feature to switch between open windows, most of the users of love again Alt + tab feature.

    If you regularly use Alt + Tab feature, then here is a small utility to fine tune. Alt + Tab Tuner is a small tool to tweak Alt + tab with ease settings.

    With Alt + Tab Tuner we can twist Alt + tab margins, grid inches, spacing, icon shift and size, size of thumb and transparency. In addition, it also lets switch you to the old Alt + Tab dialog.

  • Aero Peek, ToolTips and Alt - Tab no longer works

    Do not think that changes have been made between the moment where they worked, and the time they were not. I may be wrong, however.

    If I use a program and I move my mouse to the bar of tasks and the mouse on another program, I executed the preview is displayed only briefly (the order of milliseconds). If I click on the taskbar first, then hover over a preview icon if poster correctly, and if I mouse over the preview window is brought to the foreground. However, if I click on the program overview is only sporadically brought in the foreground.

    I also noticed that Alt + Tab doesn't work correctly or the other. When I hit alt - tab selection menu is still only flashed on the screen even now ALT.

    I also noticed that tooltips do not work in any program, unless I clicked on the taskbar and then mouse over the balloon in an open window.

    They do the same thing. When I mouse over a ToolTip it flashed briefly, don't even have enough of time to read.

    Perhaps thought it might be a problem of mouse or keyboard, both passed out, still no solution.

    Computer restarting doesn't fix it.

    Already run the troubleshooting and no problems were found.

    A system restore to before the problems were there, but it does not solve the problem either.

    Performance verified and all parameters is activated.

    As I said earlier I can't quite imagine what has changed between where he was working and the time that it was not. I have literally follow me to the top of my computer, sitting on a Chair in my office, read a book for a few hours, came back and it didn't work.

  • Windows 7 - Windows key or Alt + Tab does not

    I have Windows 7 Home Edition, and suddenly my Alt + Tab feature has stopped working.  I use it regularly, so I don't know what I did to disable.  In addition, my Windows (the one next to the left Alt key) key stops working to bring up the Start Menu.

    The Windows key still works because when I press Windows + 3, it loads Google Chrome because it is the third in the taskbar...  Tab key works alone as well I use it to switch between the boxes username and password on log ons.
    I can't do not also appear in the windows program by clicking on the icons in the taskbar, taskbar icon won't turn on and flashes, but the actual program window is not pop up. I have to press the Desktop button on the right side of the taskbar to minimize everything and then bring up the desired program window.
    I've been shooting a few changes to my Windows 7 because I wanted to accelerate and I followed this Web site: http://www.computingunleashed.com/speed-up-windows-7-ultimate-guide-to.html
    I was also disabling some of the Start Up programs and services to speed up / save the battery power.  Is there a specific Service Microsoft need to Alt Tab functionality and the Windows key to work?
    Thanks in advance.
    Hello
    • Is it on laptop or desktop?
    If it happens on the desktop, you can try to connect the keyboard to the computer of differnet and check.
     
    If it happens on your laptop, you can try to create a new user account and check. If it works in a new user account, then probably your user account have been damaged and would need a fix.
