Features
Flipuent is like a remake of Aero Flip 3D, a fancy Alt+Tab that Microsoft added inside Windows Vista. This is how it looked back in the day:
This is my take on that feature, removed since Windows 7, with the latest Fluent Design in mind and a lot of customization options.
Inside the Flipuent settings pages, you’ll be able to customize:
- The key combination. The default combination is Windows Key + Shift + Tab
- Multiple parameters for the rotation and the distance of the previews, with four presets available. Soon you’ll be able to use and share the creations of other users. Im waiting your feedback!
- The type of the background, including MICA, Acrylic, fully transparent and a solid color. More options will arrive in future versions.
- Blurring and shadowing. You can enable or disable them based on what you like or the performance you want to achieve.
This my first public app to use the Windows App SDK and WinUi3. This makes Flipuent in line with other pre-installed Windows apps. It’s very fluid relative to previous apps made with WPF (ModernGlance and Live Tiles Anywhere).
Since I really liked making this app with WinUi3, I will make future and existing apps use this technology. Some portings may require different months. One of these is already actively in the works 👀.

What to expect with future versions
It’s still the first release for Flipuent. Users will contact me and send some suggestions. At the moment I can think of…
- Increase compatibility with all windows and Aero Peek. Too much black borders.
- Increase the performance of the “blur” feature.
- More customization options and more languages. This will be based on your feedback, so keep’em coming!
