Description
Reflex Vision is a background application for Windows XP that makes switching windows faster and easier. When Reflex Vision is running, you simply use a pre-defined hotkey or hotspot, and all your open windows will scale down and reposition themselves, allowing you to see them all simultaneously. You then click the window you want, and all the windows will move back, with the one you chose in front. Reflex Vision also allows you to simultaneously view windows from only the current application and also features an improved Show Desktop function. When previewing windows, they can be set to update in real-time, allowing you to see a download or online conversation progress as it happens. You can even interact with these live previews to pause your music or change track without having to change windows. Version 3.0.2 adds compatibility for console windows in Show Desktop mode and removes an unnecessary error message.
Review
This handy utility allows you to quickly switch from one window to another, though it has a limited trial period.
Reflex Vision offers an easy-to-use, no-frills interface that you can access through the system tray. There, you'll find options to customize the program's appearance, animation and hot keys. Reflex Vision utilizes default function keys (F9, F10, and F11), but you can opt to use your own set of hot keys or define a mouse's hot spots.
We were impressed by Reflex Vision's transition and animation effects as well as how quickly and flawlessly it performed during testing. Hot keys and hot spots were helpful for displaying the desktop and for calling out all specific application windows. Our only complaint is the 100-use trial period. Aside from the demo restriction, those looking for an easy-to-use window manager will appreciate what Reflex Vision has to offer.
