How to Activate a Window by Hovering Over it with the Mouse Pointer Published by gabeforprez Published by How to Activate a Window by Hovering Over it with the Mouse Pointer hello all. I've been reading this great forum passively for a short while now, its quite the wonderful resource. what i could not find, though, was information on how to focus on windows by simply hovering over them with the mouse. Back in XP, you could enable this with Tweak UI, which called it X-mouse. It was great, i didn't have to click on a window to work in it. but how to enable this in 7? OPTION 1 As this article points out, you can switch windows by hovering if you enable it through: Control Panel> Ease of Access> Change How Your Mouse Works scroll down, check box Activate a window by hovering over it with the mouse this method raises windows to the front when you hover over them. OPTION 2 For a true X-mouse experience, you could use this third party software TXMouse: True X- Mouse Gizmo for Windows if you are familiar with Linux x-mouse behaviour, you might appreciate its other functions. OPTION 3 If you don't need those extra functions, you can make a couple swift changes in the registry and achieve the same effect: [ Thanks to original commenter unpaidbill for this particular option] Step 1: Open regedit, go to HKEY_ CURRENT_ USER\ Control Panel\ Desktop Edit User Preference Mask value to be 9 F 3 E [ You should only have to modify the first pair] NOTE: Default value is. Step 2: Also in HKEY_ CURRENT_ USER\ Control Panel\ Desktop Edit Active Wnd Trk Timeout, change ' Base' to Decimal and put in 150 as the ' Value Data' NOTE: Default value is 500. [this value is time in milliseconds that it takes for the focus to change. to avoid some issues with the taskbar I recommended using a value like 150 or so, but if you'd like to have a different delay before.

It's odd. When Firefox moved into its accelerated development path, Firefox really didn't get much better. In fact, it's been getting less stable. Google's Chrome Web browser though just keeps getting better with every new release. Chrome 14, in my opinion, is now clearly the best Web browser for any operating system available today. Why? Well, look at all the raw numbers. To see how Chrome 14 ranked, I put it up against the latest releases of Firefox and IE 9 on a Windows 7 box. When it comes to Web standards compatibility, Chrome 14 is a winner. On the Acid 3 compatibility test, which checks out how well a browser complies with Web standards such as Cascading Style Sheets ( CSS Java Script, and Extensible Markup Language ( XML Chrome had a perfect score. Firefox 6 had a score of 97 and IE had a 95. On the recently, August 23rd, updated HTML5 Test, which checks to see how compliant the Web browser is with the HTML5 Web page standard, Chrome is king of the mountain again with a score of 341 out of a possible 450. Firefox 6.02 came in second with 313 and IE came in a distant last with 141. Anyone who tells you that IE is HTML5 compliant is trying to sell you Windows. It's not. It's not even close. Download.com: Chrome 14 Moving on to performance, I use Chrome 14 on all my systems. That means I use it on various Linux desktop distributions; Chrome OS on a Samsung Chromebook, Mac OS Snow Leopard and Lion and Windows XP and 7 PCs. It runs fast on all of them. For performance benchmarking, though I use my Gateway DX4710 running Windows 7 SP1. This PC is powered by a 2.5- GHz Intel Core 2 Quad processor and has 6 GBs of RAM and an Intel GMA ( Graphics Media Accelerator) 3100 for graphics. It's hooked to the Internet via a Netgear Gigabit Ethernet switch, which, in turn, is hooked up to a 60 Mbps ( Megabit per second) cable Internet connection. The first benchmark was.
