Windows Vista User Interface >> Using Vista Aero Glass

Line

Aero Glass is not just another description for the new 3D effects and animations planted into the latest operating system Windows Vista. W-Tweaks will guide you through a couple of features that you will only find in the highest user interface “tier”: If your computer is capable of Aero Glass you can use the so called “Flip” mode. Just press “Alt+Tab” and you will instantly see a two-dimensional preview of all windows currently open.

Now press the Windows-Key and Tab and you will the “Flip3D” view. Windows Vista presents all currently visible windows in a three-dimensional line-up. By holding the Windows-Key and pressing Alt you can easily switch through all your Windows using Flip and Flip3D. With Flip3D you are also allowed to use the scroll wheel of your mouse to pick your application or window.

Aero Glass is not just about a couple of visual enhancements but Microsoft put the technology to good use. Especially Flip3D takes a little getting used to but in the end we believe it is worth trying out a couple of these features!
