Xilokit.com came out with another interesting concept that brings an interesting concept to Windows. It&#8217;s a freeware application called <a
href="http://www.xilokit.com/deskloops/deskloops.html">Deskloops</a> which offers an refreshing idea on how to handle windows in Windows.</p><p>It takes all your open windows and makes an endless tape out of it. When you need to switch to another window, instead of using Alt+Tab you simply move your cursor to the edge of the screen. Depending on the position on the tape another windows scrolls into your view and moreover, another little loop appears in the center of the screen so that you have a better control of all windows on the tape. The windows are blurred when moving but they sharpen after reaching your destination.</p><p><span
id="more-1737"></span>The last feature you get with this utility is an overview bar on the top of the screen with thumbnails and count of all open windows. You can click any thumbnail to activate the loop and bring that window in front of you. You can even save the active tape of windows as a session and activate it later. I was really surprised by the number of options available, including loop speed, transparency, arrangement and more. Deskloops is a nice and powerful replacement of the standard CoolSwitch.</p><p>Working with this concept is a little bit strange at the beginning. I had to create a screenshot in Gimp using copy paste and I had to switch between the main Gimp window and the screenshot window several times to finish the process and save the image.</p><p><img
