Please let us know if you run into any trouble after updating.

Is there a way to increase the Aero Peek delay to 20 seconds or something? That would solve it. ]]> RE: Feature Request: Alt-Tab option that doesn't make all the windows turn transparent https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-alt-tab-option-that-doesnt-make-all-the-windows-turn-transparent/?ID=d0e346a5-7783-4d8b-8050-1afa3e31b04c#4 Thu, 05 Jun 2014 19:56:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-alt-tab-option-that-doesnt-make-all-the-windows-turn-transparent/?ID=d0e346a5-7783-4d8b-8050-1afa3e31b04c#4 DisplayFusion 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? ]]> RE: Feature Request: Alt-Tab option that doesn't make all the windows turn transparent https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-alt-tab-option-that-doesnt-make-all-the-windows-turn-transparent/?ID=d0e346a5-7783-4d8b-8050-1afa3e31b04c#3 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 20:12:39 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-alt-tab-option-that-doesnt-make-all-the-windows-turn-transparent/?ID=d0e346a5-7783-4d8b-8050-1afa3e31b04c#3 DisplayFusion 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. ]]> RE: Feature Request: Alt-Tab option that doesn't make all the windows turn transparent https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-alt-tab-option-that-doesnt-make-all-the-windows-turn-transparent/?ID=d0e346a5-7783-4d8b-8050-1afa3e31b04c#2 Wed, 04 Jun 2014 17:57:22 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/feature-request-alt-tab-option-that-doesnt-make-all-the-windows-turn-transparent/?ID=d0e346a5-7783-4d8b-8050-1afa3e31b04c#2 DisplayFusion Which version of Windows are you using? I'll test this out here, as it definitely shouldn't be doing that :)

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. ]]>
