Add Windows 7-like Superbar to Vista or XP

As date is approaching for the release of Windows 7, the tweaks for transformation of Windows XP and Vista are also flooding the web. Apart from all those tweaks, even I had written an article for Transformation into Windows 7. Now you can also get the feel of clean Super Taskbar (Superbar) of 7 ' on Vista and XP. In one word, ' ViGlance ' is the solution.

Once you install and run, your taskbar instantly change form, grouping windows into single, 48x48 icon sections. Hovering over each icon shows a popup telling you the name of each window or the names of the windows in that group. Each group popup is dynamically re-sized via "glide" animation—based somewhat on the Aero Peek feature in Windows 7—to fit to the size of the text to be shown, making movement across the task bar seamless. And while it doesn't boast every feature of the superbar, it is a nice tweak if you'd like to bring similar taskbar functionality to your pre-7 Windows installations. ViGlance is freeware, & currently supports Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7.

  1. ViGlance really disappoints me. The autogrouping is what I hate the most.
    What if you have something important going and you happen to have two windows open? You have to wait 2-5 seconds until the previews actually show up. And it's only 75% it actually works. That's right. I click the preview and 25% of the time clicking it does nothing so I have to go back and get the previews AGAIN.
    Also it's really not good at keeping window previews. It doesn't show my window, either it's black or transparent. SOMETIMES though it does manage to do that. I'm just wondering, do I have any more options? SBar is even worse, so don't suggest that. Anything else, x-cael-x@hotmail.com.
    Answers would be appreciated.
