Keyboard Shortcut Keys for Flip 3D
NOTE:
Press the key combinations below in blue to activate.
  • Windows Key + Tab = Press and hold Windows Key, then press Tab (or roll mouse scroll wheel) to scroll through the open windows. Choose the open window you want by releasing the Windows Key when the window is at the front.
  • Ctrl + Windows Key + Tab = Scroll through the open windows by pressing the Tab key, arrow keys, or roll the mouse scroll wheel. Click on the window you want to see, or press Enter when it is up front.

EXAMPLE: Flip 3D

The following is a registry hack which lets you change the number of windows shown when Flip3D is activated. By default it's set to 10, and for some, that'd be too many and the quality of Flip3D would be poor.
He's how to change the registry to a lower number of windows;

1. Press WinKey

2. Type 'regedit'

3. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\DWM

4. Right click on DWM and select New, click on DWORD

5. Name the new DWORD value “Max3DWindows” (without the quotes)

6. Double click on the DWORD value and set it to the maximum number of windows you want displayed in Flip3D. A good number is 5 for low-end cards and 10 for high performance cards.

7. Click OK and exit the Registry Editor.

8. Press WinKey+Tab to display Flip3D or download Winflog to launch it via the middle mouse button. You should now see the number of windows you specified in regedit!

Thank you! As well for winflog. I own a wireless laser MS notebook mice and it does the job of winflog. But I have another one aswell (lite) that doesn't do it! Thanks again!


Edit:

"Max3DWindows" set at 5 doesn't work for me... When i open 10 windows it is still 10 in Flip3D!!

Winflog doesn't work as well... i think it is my mice!

Good morning,

How do we exclude the deskop window from displaying within the window switcher by editing the registry please?
Windows switcher is nice but it is not esthetical at all while displaying the desktop with many else windows like browser windows anyone could have to work with, in case you understand what anyone windows 7 user is trying or would like to achieve ".
