Get the Flip 3D Vista effect on XP

Since its launch about a year ago, Windows Vista has been widely criticized for several reasons: security restrictions, poor usability, lack of actual new features when compared to XP…

But what nobody complained about was the cool eye-candy included in Microsoft's new operating system, such as the 3D system to switch between active applications. What's more, this particular Vista feature has been turned into a software tool that enables you to enjoy that same 3D window switcher in Windows XP.

WinFlip is very easy to use. Simply unzip the file (no installation required), launch the program and you're ready to go. If you want to use it instead of the standard Alt+Tab, press the Windows key+Tab combination. All your active apps and opened windows will be displayed in an attractive 3D environment, where you can flip among them by pressing Tab repeatedly or choose a certain window by pressing the key associated with it.

WinFlip worked fine during our tests, although sometimes the content of some of the windows turned to complete white or complete black while flipping through them. I guess it's just a matter of further development.

WinFlip is an easy, simple - and above all, very cheap - way to have the 3D Flip function in Windows XP.

  • Pros

    • No installation required
    • Can be used alternatively to standard Alt+Tab

Great. If you have windows 8 developer preview, it works with that as well, and it is great!! Only down side is that it shows quite a number of inbuilt metro stuff that is of no use.and very light on cpu and memory too.letter font could be a bit clearer though Pros: Attractive customizable design that is very light on memory and cpu and gives us a feature that works with both xp and later operating systems. Ability to replace alt-tab app switcher which i find more natural than win-tab Cons: letter font is hard to see clearly

Winflip 0.50 freeze and down . I have the same problem as apimio with the 0.50 version. I tried it on 2 very different machines, I don't know what is the problem. I like it, but when I need to restart it twice a day, I do not use. I modified all the settings, but nothing help. Any idea? I try this older one. Pros: Beautiful, and funny. I love it. Cons: If it goes down again and again I hate.

Good Idea ...but. Is a very good idea (thinking that Xp still alive yet, maybe for a long time). I'd test it by some months but I have a lot's of problem. When I'm switching between applications this go down and freeze my PC for a time.Is very attractive, quick and easy to handle, but is not funny to have to turn on every time that it crash :p Pros: Nice, quick and easy to use. Cons: for some reason i have a lot of crash when I'm switching apps

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
