Wednesday, May 28, 2008 by Bressler | Discussion: Customization Software
I found a cool little tweak that not only animates your user pic but also animates all icons in the start menu.... Here's the link if you wanna check it out.....http://mpj.tomaatnet.nl/vista/

Bebi, just checked my CPU whilst GlassToast was running and watched what happened with the CPU when a pop up balloon came up and the CPU jumped up from 3 per cent to 60 per cent for about 1.5 seconds and then returned 4 per cent. That's what I'd expect when you do anything with any program when it leaps into life. It's also using 6MB of memory which is negligible. I'm running it on a laptop, AMD Turon 64 Cpu, 1024 MB of Ram with XP SP3. Not sure why it's eating the CPU on your machine as it's quiet as a mouse on mine.

GlassToast is a neat little programGlass Toast is a sweet looking app, but I've been using this tiny free app that gives you a live thumbnail of your minimized windows called Visual Tool Tip with XP for almost 5 years now. It's invisible and I've never had a problem with it. Although I will admit Glass Toast does look much nicer.Visual Tool Tip: WWW LinkHere's an old shot of mine with Visual Tool Tip displayed:This image has been resized. Click this bar to view the full image. The original image is sized 1024x768.Just tried it...not bad, but wish is was more like the Vista one (same size for all thumbnails, quicker, nicer display, etc). Was using too much CPU, had to axe that app.

Used to use that (or a similar one) when I tried out Window Xs VTP. Got tired of it kind of quickly.
Of course this was before I found Windowblinds and Stardock

I think she was referring to the Visual Tool Tip app that cplair had just mentioned
