    Hello ,does anyone know of a gadget for the sidebar that lets you roll the active windows.

    I want to try and use the sidebar from now on and autohide the task bar.
    I thought it would be easy to do this ,if I could roll through the active windows from the sidebar . I already use the apps manager for opening common programs :)

    Any ideas ?

    The best thing to do is hunt through the various customization sites off the top of my head smartflip is the closest I can think off along with Switcher is a similar app but I dont think either are gadget.

    It might be worth checking AeroXperience forums but they can be viewed by guests only registered users.

    I'm pretty sure I've seen what you describe before but I cant place it I think it might have been a feature on a Microsoft mouse under Vista if you install Intellipoint.

    Thanks 8T8 ,I never thought of getting it working through the mouse. I might be able to use the side buttons on my mouse for it;)

    Cheers.

    Thanks a lot for that ,it works a treat :) ,it's a lot easier to roll through the windows ,than trying to focus on the taskbar all the time .

    I will read through the link and try and make something up ,any gadgets I've got so far are useful. CTControl,bbc radio,applauncher,weather, multimeter D. ,winswitch ;)
