The true power of a graphical desktop lies in its enabling users
to quickly and easily work with several open applications at once,
so also with Zeta.
When you have multiple windows open in Zeta, each window's status
is indicated in the appearance of its application title bar and
that it is listed in the Deskbar's Application List. You can only
preform tasks in the active window, the unactive windows are idle
until you click on them or choose the window from the Deskbar. Unactive
windows are grayed out.

The Twitcher
In most operating systems there is also a keystroke combination
for switching quickly in between running applications. In Zeta this
keystroke combination is holding down the Ctrl key and pressing
the Tab key. For each time the Tab key is pressed a new running
application will become the active one. By holding down Ctrl+Shift
and then pressing the Tab key, you will move backwards in the process
of choosing which application should be the active one.
Zeta doesn't stop here. By holding down both Ctrl and Tab, you
will launch a powerful switch application, called Twitcher.

With Ctrl still held down, successive Tab strokes (or left/right
arrows) will cycle through your open applications. You can also
you the mouse to choose the preferred application from Twitcher's
menu. The up/down arrows cycle through an applications open windows,
as named in the bottom portion of the Twitcher's window.

To switch to the application that Twitcher is pointing to, simply
release the Ctrl key. The application's window comes to the front
on your desktop; if the window is in another workspace, you're taken
to that workspace.
