The window preview is no longer working for me. It did work in AMM 3.4.2 (and i think also in AWM 6.8 beta 1).
I tried changing some of the options under "Multiple Monitors" -> "Taskbar", but nothing worked.
I'm using Windows XP Professional SP3 32-bit.

Hello Bertram,
Thanks for the post.
Could you change the "Preview show delay" parameter (Actual Window Manager -> Multiple Monitors -> Taskbar) to about 500 ms?
Hope this helps.

Hello,
it is already set to 500 ms.
I tried different values ranging from 0 ms to 1000 ms, but nothing worked.
I also tried switching off and on (in different combinations):
"Enable smooth transition of the preview"
"Enable preview's fade"
"Always show captions in previews"
"Show the multi-preview for scattered similar buttons"
But it is not working.
I also tried switching back to the default configuration (i saved a zip-archive with the defaults), but also not working.
Anything else i can try?
As i already said: The strange thing is that it did definitly work in AMM 3.4.2..
EDIT:
I installed AWM 7.0 beta 1 on my laptop (only 1 monitor) and replaced the primary taskbar --> also no preview.

Hello Bertram,
Could you check whether the "Enable window thumbnails" option (Actual Window Manager -> Actions -< Options -> Window Thumbnails -> Enable window thumbnails) enabled or not?
Could you also send me (support@actualtools.com) a screenshot of the "Actual Window Manager -> Multiple Monitors -> Taskbar" pane?
Best regards.

Ohh.... i'm very sorry. I didn't notice this option. It was unchecked and as soon as I checked it window previews are working fine.
I used Actual Multiple Monitors before and the option to enable window previews at all was located under "Multiple Monitors" -> "Taskbar" in AMM.
I actually wondered why it wasn't there in Actual Window Manager any longer. I just have overlooked the "Window Thumbnails"-Pane under Actions -> Options.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Best Regards.

Actually, I would like to also add that I am having the same issue. However, it is not an issue if I replace the primary taskbar with AWM's, only the native windows 7 taskbar.
I did make sure that the option you mentioned in options was checked.

- Bertram, the general "Enable window thumbnails" option (Options -> Window Thumbnails) activates all types of Actual Tools thumbnails in Actual Window Manager.
The "Enable window previews above taskbars" option (Actual Window Manager -> Multiple Monitors -> Taskbar) activates taskbar previews only.
Actual Multiple Monitors includes taskbar previews only.

- macman104, if you have this problem with your native windows 7 taskbar you should read something like this -
