Good News Everyone,


in addition to its old feature set, ->SmartTab (see that link if you don't know what I'm talking about)
no also assigns the letters a-z to windows after it ran out of digits - this makes switching to windows you haven't used 'in a while' even easier.
No more hitting tab a gazillion times, or having to touch your mouse.

Feedback (and new color schemes) are always welcome!

So long,

->Tyberius Prime

We have done so.

Can you run processes in the "background"? In *nix you would append a "&" to cause it to run as a background process.

code:
example: /some/path/SmartTab -flags &

Assuming you are running win9x or 2k/xp why not make a shortcut at the startuip folder with all the parameters you want.

Excellent application, Tyberius.

One suggestion: always on top.

Alright - a new version

-windows is now on top of other windows (always on top... even works with icq)
-Doesn't appear in the taskbar anymore while you're tabbing
-you can use '-transparency=' (somevalue between 0 (invisible) to 255 (not transparent) to make the window translucent - but it's a bit slow, you'll have to try it with your machine.

so long,

actually, it uses a pretty 'standard' windows window function to turn it transparent called SetLayeredWindowAttributes.

I'd imagine that IE uses that as well, but not the other way around.

Thanks for the quick update, Tyberius. I've passed your link onward to many friends and associates. Those that have downloaded and used it love it.

Is it supposed to use 3.46 MB of RAM?

hm... it 'only' uses 2.008 mb on my machine - though of course that depends on the amount of open windows.
At that size, it's actually one of the least memory consuming process I see around... my blue tooth driver and some windows internals are below it,
though I might find a couple of ways to lower it's memory usage even more...

So long,
Tyberius Prime
PS: I'd appreciate it if you could point people to ->SmartTab. That's the official page and well, it doesn't include a url yet (hm... nice idea).

I thought "http://www.ozoneasylum.com/smarttab" was the URL? That's what I've been sending around.

yeah, that's it. the ->smartTab is just the quick way to make a link within this forum.

actually, it's soon going to be SmartTab.org - once the dns comes around. I also added a little url to the screen,
do you think it's unobstrusive enough?

Here's another scheme for you...

I call it "Dull Scheme"
You can add this one to, if you want.

thanks, I added it to the list - I think it to be rather 'classic' than dull.
