I’m glad you found an answer to this but it would have been nice to have it a tweak only solution – I’ve already got VirtuaWIN to give me multiple desktop spaces (like Linux) and My Expose to give me F9 window sorting (like Mac)

I worry about having a million apps starting at start up and eating my precious ramz’

(Ironically I also boot linux (red hat) and OSx and they don’t feel as nice to use as Vista.)

Yeah… I thought the same exact thing you did when I first was testing it for this article. =)

Ah, I see. The way around this is to not minimize the program, just open a different one. When I do it that way, I get the flashing prices, when the page is minimized first, I do not.

Scott,

You might notice that the thumbnails don’t update when the window is minimized… I think that’s the default behavior for the compositing engine in Vista.

All this tweak does is modify the size of them, not the way they are drawn… I’ve gone through the source code so I could understand it myself =)

Okay, I removed the -hide switch and it seems to be updating. Please disregard previous comment.

Thanks, Scott
