Looking for Exposé for Windows?

Switcher is an Exposé clone for Vista, a small app that will allow you to view all of your open Windows with a single stroke.

If you've ever wondered if there is such a thing as Exposé for Vista, then Switcher is the app for you. Once installed and configured, you'll be able to view all your open windows at once using a single hotkey. You'll also be able to focus on a certain window, scroll through all of them, search for a particular window (handy if you have lots open) and close them easily.

Switcher has good configuration options, which means that you should be able to get the app running exactly how you want. You can specify how the windows appear (tiled, docked or in a grid), customize color and transparency, modify the hotkeys and even take a peak at some advanced settings.

Using a single hotkey combination to switch between windows with Switcher is very easy. The app hides other features, though, so we recommend taking a look at the online FAQ before you start. Switcher is a smooth, nicely-designed application, and if you want or need more visual control over your windows, it's a great option.

View all of your windows at once with Switcher for Vista.

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
