Whilst on Desktop, > Top-Left, come down, Switcher Bar is out & all currently, active APPs are showing thumbnails... Lf Clk on said Bar & that holds. In other words, allowing one to view all live APPs and the Desktop simultaneously. Once the Desktop is clicked the Switcher Bar drops (back), until touched, again, of course.

Just a wee thing; most are, likely, already, aware of this.

PS: I always called it the APP Bar, seems it's the Switcher Bar, yeeeesh, lol

Glad it's appreciated :)

I've mentioned a few others recently since the release of 8.1.1

Cheers,
