RetroBar: Classic Windows 95, 98, Me, 2000, XP taskbar for modern Windows

What I want is the Aero ALT-TAB behavior from Windows 7 in Windows 10. My daily driver is a laptop w/ a touchpad, and I end up using the keyboard a lot. I can switch between programs so quickly and easily using ALT-TAB / ALT-arrows. As far as I can see the functionality just doesn't exist in Windows 10 and it's maddening. I have so much muscle memory built up from that interface and switching between programs via the keyboard is so much clunkier on Windows 10.

How does the Alt+Tab behavior differ between 7 and 10?

I think they meant Super+Tab which on 7 cycled through each window like a deck of cards

Isn't the only difference between the 7 and 10 Super+Tab that instead of the card deck, you can see all of them at once?

Love it. Wish windows would be more open to themes in general.

For those of us who grew up with windowblinds... there’s a lot of the old MS that we miss.

Remember when we used to own our computers and the experience we wanted? Simpler times indeed.

Windowblinds is still around, fyi: https://www.stardock.com/products/windowblinds/download

I haven't tried it in years though

If you can't set the whole GUI as the old w2k theme all efforts are nil, as Windows 10 has a similar setting for the taskbar but not the theme.

Give me for macOS!

I miss start drag and drop and contextual menus that were actually useful.

What does it look like with News and Interest icons?
