When I use Alt-Tab, I look at the Alt-Tab window that appears on the main screen with all the little windows in it, and I use that one to find the window I'm looking for. Having the whole desktop turn transparent and then flash in my face every time I press Tab again is immensely distracting when trying to concentrate on the Alt-Tab window.
Please add an option that doesn't make all the application windows on the desktop flash and change when Alt-Tabbing.

Which version of Windows are you using? I'll test this out here, as it definitely shouldn't be doing that :)

Thanks!

I'm using Windows 7 SP1 and running Display Fusion Pro 6.0.0 (beta 7).
In 'Windows Management' I've selected "Enable Alt+Tab Handler" and "Show window text below each Alt+Tab Item". "Show Desktop window" is unselected.

When I press Alt+Tab, the application window that is highlighted in the Alt+Tab selection window on the main screen fades in and all other windows fade into transparent frames, i.e. normal Windows 7 Alt+tab behavior.

As far as I can tell, the only difference between the Display Fusion Alt+Tab handling and regular windows 7 is that the Alt+Tab selection window is transparent on win7, but has an opaque blue background in Display Fusion.

Ah ok, it's supposed to do the Aero Peek thing, but only if you sit on a window in the Alt-Tab for a few seconds. (i.e. if you press Alt-Tab, and keep holding Alt so that the Alt-Tab window stays open but you're not changing selections). For you, is it doing the Aero Peek thing immediately every time you hit Tab while holding Alt?

There's a 1 second delay (not a few seconds, as you say) after opening the Alt+Tab window and holding Alt, which is barely enough for me to get orientated, and every Tab click after that does the Aero Peek immediately with no delay at all.
Is there a way to increase the Aero Peek delay to 20 seconds or something? That would solve it.

Ah ok, that's definitely working the way it's expected to, but we'll see if we can add an Advanced Setting so that you can increase the delay before Aero Peek kicks in :)

We've just released a new DisplayFusion beta version and there's now an option in the Advanced Settings to control the Aero Peek delay for the Alt-Tab Handler. Please let us know if you run into any trouble after updating.

Thanks!

Setting the delay to 20000 solves the problem for me. Thanks a lot! :)
