Remarks on DExposE2

So far its great for users who want more eye candy and want to use your PC with style. I currently use it on my laptop and haven’t found a reason to remove it. You should try it out. It’s very fast and doesn’t use a lot of resources.

Winflip – 3d Window Switcher for Windows

Diego — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 20:38:41 +0000

Winflip is a neat application for switching through your windows. It allows you to “flip” through previews of your windows in 3D!

How to use Winflip

Simply configure it to open with Alt+Tab or Win+Tab. Then simply switch through the windows like you would normally do. Except, with Winflip you’ll be “flipping” your windows. You can also flip through your windows using your keyboard. You could also make a circle mouse gesture and Winflip will be activated as well!

Launchy – The Open Source Keystroke Launcher

Ever since I acquired Launchy, I’ve been using my mouse even less, and I haven’t visited the Start Menu in the longest time!

Launchy makes opening applications fast!

Launchy is a free Window and Linux utility designed to make you forget about your start menu or desktop and does a good job about it! By default, Launchy displays over all your applications with a press of ALT-SpaceBar, then allows you to start typing in the application you want to open, and Launchy will start firing up suggestions, once you nail the right app, press enter and it opens! See why you never have to visit your Start Menu ever again?

Yes, you can even customize your Launchy experience with skins that can be found here.

Overall, Launchy is a great application to speed up your productivity. I’ve recently downloaded it onto my desktop and my laptop. Also, just make sure your mouse doesn’t get jealous because you won’t be using it as much anymore!
