Publisher's description of Reflex Vision

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.

Editor's review of Reflex Vision

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.

Nice OS-X Expose' Imitation, but memory hog

Nice OS-X Expose' Imitation, but memory hog

by: liawagner on 28-Dec-2006 04:09:20 PM

Pros: It works much like Expose on OS-X and functions without flicker on a GeForce FX 5600 graphics card. The response time is very good and the motion is fluid. All settings can be customized. (reviewed version 3.0.2)

Cons: On the default setting it uses too much system RAM (up to 44MB), which is a lot for a small utility. This can be improved, though by using Video RAM which will reduce memory usage to 14MB.

Great mac-like interface, beside some bugs

Great mac-like interface, beside some bugs

by: tiagoclaus on 19-May-2007 08:40:19 AM

Pros: - Fast and useful, just like the mac version

- Great alternative to alt+tab

- Fairly price

Cons: - Support is slow or non-existent, since none of my email got an answer

- The "show desktop" has a bug with some softwares that does not allow you to select the window again after you invocate this function (I experienced this issue with Outlook 2007, Total Commander 6.64/7.0rc4, Nero Express 5.5.7.1, Project 2003 and MediaMonkey 2.5.5.996/3.0.0.1034.

- Demo version is way too short.

Great features, but glitchy

Great features, but glitchy

by: pancake_dave on 26-Oct-2006 11:47:35 AM

Pros: Very configurable and handy.

Cons: The window animation jitters terribly. Only solution is to turn it off, which means you don't get the nice Mac style window shrinking thing. Still works, but not the way it should and I have a lot of ram and a good 256 mb graphics card.
