*spoiler* I won't hold back then: holding down the alt key and scrolling with the mouse wheel changes the transparency / opacity of the active window. If you are trying to look at one app while you type in another, you can do it without having to place them side-by-side... just make the active window mostly transparent, and you can see what you need to see. I do like the alt-tabbing, but I don't have a windows key on my keyboard to try the flower-tab. -Jim
