If you are a Windows user, then you are probably familiar with the ALT - TAB feature presented in this operating system. Using this key combination, you will be able to easily switch between various application windows. The problem is that it may be really difficult to find a certain application whose window is smaller than normal, as the thumbnail presented on the screen while pressing the key combination is not so large. This issue is still present in Windows Vista and 7.

A solution to this issue would be to install the VistaSwitcher application, a Windows program which can replace the default ALT+TAB functionality, allowing you to view large thumbnails of all the program windows opened on the screen and switch between them with great ease. After the program is installed, it will add an icon into the system tray, from where the user can launch it.

Using the application can be done in two ways, either by clicking on the icon from the system tray or by using the ALT+TAB key combination. When accessing the application, a large window will be displayed in the middle of the screen, presenting thumbnails for each open window. Switching between application windows can be performed either using the keyboard arrows or by selecting them using the mouse.

By accessing the options section of VistaSwitcher, the user will be able to customize the application's behavior and also change the theme of the application. Unfortunately, there is only one theme available, but several can be downloaded from the program's website.

Pros

It can replace the default ALT+TAB functionality, allowing you to switch much easier between open program windows. Besides that, it supports themes and several languages. Furthermore, the program's functionality can be fully customized from the options section. What's more, switching between windows can be done using the keyboard arrow keys or the mouse.

Cons

There is only one theme included in the application. VistaSwitcher allows you to easily and quickly switch between open program windows.
