functions as a taskbar for your mac, quick switching between apps and open windows

Switch

100% Core Animation
Switching between windows has never been so easy. Fantasktik shows all your windows in a smart and stylish way, giving you a 1-click access to any of them.

Fantasktik unleashes the power of Leopard with a pure Core Animation Interface. Sleek animations and gorgeous transparent effects all contribute to an amazing user experience.
Real Preview

Scrollbars are so passé
Unlike other systems with previews so small that elements are barely discernible, previews in Fantasktik are large and allow you to actually see windows contents.

Click, grab and slide. Scrolling through your open windows is incredibly intuitive. With its revolutionary UI, Fantasktik is ready for the multitouch-era.
Consistent

Expand/Collapse
OS X is application-oriented, so is Fantasktik. Fantasktik groups your windows by applications making it easier to find the window you're looking for.

Easily manage your bar real estate by showing and hiding all windows associated with an application. Simply double click on an application icon to expand or collapse the windows into it.
Tips and Tricks

A single click on the side buttons hides and shows the bar. Clicking the buttons and dragging lets you move the bar up and down.

Right-click on the bar to change its side buttons. You can now close the bar or launch Fantasktik Preference Pane in one click.

You can also easily add Fantasktik to your Dock by dragging the icon provided in the Preference pane.

This is exactly what i miss in the Dock. 1 click access to all open windows, and 1 click (at the same location on screen!) to hide them. I can't believe Apple did not include this functionality.

I need this.

Does anyone know any alternatives to this app? I've been using sticky windows, which can be used in a similar way, but i really need a taskbar clone (obviously a windows switcher). Thanks
