Hi @WINSTEP

Can you please add an option to change or completely disable the delay and slide / fade animation before a taskbar thumbnail preview is shown in NextStart.exe?

So I need the animation to appear immediately when the mouse is over the icon instead of waiting 500ms - 1second to see it, please.


Maybe it's easy for you to add a hidden option in the registy so advanced users can change the delay:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WinSTEP2000\NextSTART

something like
"DwmThumbnailDelay"="0";
"DwmThumbnailAnimation"="False";

Thanks
!
I really need this option since I use the thumbnails a lot and I need to wait each time to switch from one application window to another

:)

Heck, even a 1 sec delay is *nothing* in real terms - slow down a little is the simple answer. :D

A registry option really wouldn't be on - too many people would be liable to mess things up. I don't recall anybody ever raising this issue before, so I think it would be unlikely for Jorge to add it to the 'to do' list, but who knows...
