http://blogs.msdn.com/toddha/archive/2007/03/23/how-much-is-that-doggie-in-the-window.aspxI read a really good article the other day over on Ars about Windows Vista and how stuff works under the covers in terms of how things draw on Windows Vista. It's a pretty easy read; it's true what they said. Unfortunately we didn't add in any more effectsen-USCommunityServer 2.1 SP1 (Build: 61025.2)http://blogs.msdn.com/toddha/archive/2007/03/23/how-much-is-that-doggie-in-the-window.aspx#1939708Sat, 24 Mar 2007 02:31:58 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:1939708Rosyna<p>&quot;Windows doesn't have this problem. Most windows have a taskbar button you can use to activate them&quot;</p> <p>I've always wondered about this. What about the windows that don't appear in the taskbar and have no clear &quot;owning&quot; application? Is there a fast way to access them?</p> http://blogs.msdn.com/toddha/archive/2007/03/23/how-much-is-that-doggie-in-the-window.aspx#1966355Tue, 27 Mar 2007 21:05:27 GMT91d46819-8472-40ad-a661-2c78acb4018c:1966355toddha<p>Off the top of my head, I'm not sure, but I don't think so. I think I've run into examples where the window doesn't show up under Alt+Tab but does exist. It's pretty frustrating, especially when it gets sent to the back of the other windows and you have to minimize everything else to find it. :)</p> <p>I've also seen windows that don't have a taskbar button, don't show up in Flip3D, but do show up in Alt+Tab.</p> <p>I can't remember exactly which &quot;app&quot; it was, but I've also found this to be the case somewhere in OSX. When you hit Expos&#233;, even if it's the active window, it fades away.</p> <p>I really wonder what the reasoning behind allowing this is (in any operating system).</p>
