[QUOTE="DiMMaX, post: 1065157, member: 161347"] Hi there, I'm a member of a music-band and one of our instruments is keyboard. To save you all from the technical details, I'd like to explain an issue we're facing. I hope someone around here can help us with this very inconvenient issue. We used to have Propellerhead Reason on a Windows-machine for our synths in our band. For man reasons we'd like to switch to Mac. So we'd like to end up with 2 Mac mini's instead of 2 PC's. So we tested the setup and it was very satisfying. We're convinced about the new setup. however, there's one big downside which does force us to stick with Windows pc's :( In Windows, each open window becomes visible in the taskbar. Allowing you to switch very quick between open applications/windows. Since we use these pc's during a live set, we absolutely need that feature. However, within OSX the behavior of the taskbar is different. Only applications wich are minimized go into the taskbar/dock... It's difficult to explain, but minimizing the windows every single time is not an option. We do have multiple windows open simultaneously and we need to be able to switch very quickly between them. In Windows it's as simple of selecting the proper window in the taskbar and it becomes active on the foreground... Is there a way to have this very same behavior in OSX as well? I've been looking in the settings but I can 't find anything. Maybe there's some external application which can provide this? Many many thanks in advance for useful tips!
