How to Get Vista Taskbar Thumbnail Previews in Windows XP?
Not everyone likes to upgrade to a new OS every couple of years. Same thing is happening with people using Windows XP resisting the temptation of upgrading to Windows Vista. But still many of us who don’t want to upgrade to Vista would love to have few of the cool looking Aero features. One of the coolest and my favorite Vista features is the thumbnails previews of the windows that comes when you hover your mouse over the taskbar. Now with a tiny application you can get them in XP as well.
Visual Tooltip as the name suggest is a hybrid dock / thumbnail application. With a few changes in settings you could make it work just like Vista thumbnails.
The utility we’ll use is called Visual Tooltip, which is a hybrid dock / thumbnail application. With a few tweaks to the settings, we can make it work just like Vista thumbnails.
Here’s what it looks like on my desktop… Cool yeah!
Default options makes the thumbnails really ugly for XP. To make your thumbnails look the same as mine, just follow these couple of steps. Download and start the application, and open up the options from the tray icon.
Increase the size of the sliders to make the thumbnail bigger, and then uncheck the option for “Size proportional to the target window”.
Click on the Display tab, and then uncheck the “Show window title”
Well that’s just about it but there are many customizable options which you could and i suggest should tweak it to your liking. Hit the download link below.
