How to get Aero peak in Chrome

[Mitch656]

I would search this in Google, but my internet is capped and only forum site work. I manage to find this out before, but i was wondering how to you get aero peak to work in Chrome. As in Each tab will show up as an picture the taskbar as IE8 does.


I remember when doing it once i had to right click on the icon and click properties, and have to enter a code but i cant not remember what the code was.

I'm using the latest Chrome Dev build, and Aero Peek works just fine..

 

[Mitch656]

Im using the latest Google release and it didn't come enable.

Do you know how to enable it?

 

[Tews]

Are you using the Dev build?

 

[Mitch656]

Nope, Im using the normal one.
I found this on the net...

Aero peak in windows 7 taskbar (how to enable) - Google Chrome Forums

but i cant seem to get it to work, and it what i did when i had chrome once before

Try the dev build and see what happens.. Ive never had a problem with peek though tbh..

 

[Mitch656]

I've tried serval time and i finally got it to work in the stable build.
The only thing it shows a black tab when a whole page of flash is running.

but i guess you can't have everything

now it seems to stop working after i restarted my PC :l

Yeah...I am on the stable build (v 8) but it does not work. Never did right from the beginning. I also tried the fix posted above, but it does not work. Should it work in the first place? Btw, it does not work in Opera (latest build) either! But it does work in IE9b.

Well i managed to get it to work, once i enable Internet Explorer as i had it turned off. But i think i will just stick with internet explorer

Can you please explain what you mean by "once I enable Internet Explorer as I had it turned off"?

I always have IE (9b) on my machine and I don't know what turning it on or off means.

Thanks

I am using Chrome 9.0.597.19 Beta and AeroPeek is not working for me. Is there something I have to do to turn it on?

I see. Thanks. In my case IE9(b) is always enabled and still the aero peek thing in Chrome (ver 8.xx) does not work....

i got mine to work,

Find the shortcut in the start menu or on the desktop, Right Click, properties, then at the end on chrome.exe in the target area put a space and add --enable-aero-peek-tabs. Restart the browser and it should work, sometime it takes a couple of tries. Anyway the whole thing in target area should look like C:\Users\Mitchell\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe --enable-aero-peek-tabs
with your username

I tried that. Still does not work. After I insert that extra bit, I restart Chrome, and when I look at the target area, the string has reverted back to what it originally was!!!

Edit:

Ok. I got it. The trick is to unpin the current icon on the taskbar and to resend the icon when the changes were made through the Properties.

Thanks so very much.

is there any built in option to enable Chorme Aero Peek?

i dont mean --enable-aero-peek-tabs

i mean somewhere in the options, so i can make a windows 7 Image, with chrome installed, with aero peek automatically enabled?
