@Jack_Mayhem > [@Jack\_Mayhem](#): > > Do you have any idea what could cause it, maybe some Windows setting? Would love slow refresh on other laptop as well. Seems to be affected by a combination of GPU drivers and Windows version. I see the same stalled thumbnail behavior when I press Win+TAB (this is essentially the same Windows API as EVE-O uses) for all minimized windows. Not only EVE but also VLC, YouTube etc. So it seems to be a system-wide thing If you’ll manage to find out such setting then please ping me. I’ll add this to the FAQ. ---

In previous version I could move it just like the other characters. It is not a game breaker just a small thing. You mean the preview of a non-logged EVE Online client? They all have the same name. One day I’ll add some kind of auto-arrange for these windows, but for now they all spawn in the same place. Once you log-in the preview window should move itself to the configured position (if it doesn’t then this is a bug) ---

After a NET-Update - so far works for me. I didn’t find it in the forum nor the documentation: Is there a possibility to save the position of the thumbs? I’d like to assign the same hotlkey to the different chars on one account. Tried to, but that didn’t work properly - only the 1st char works. Would it be possible to adjust assignment of hotkeys depending on clients actually running? Thx ---

Sorry for the late reply. Previews work and are animated in Win+Tab, as well as when hovering over taskbar icons. I’m using a 2560x1080 monitor, if that could be a factor. ---

Covered in the `readme.pdf` file or here: [GitHub - Phrynohyas/eve-o-preview: An EVE client window switcher tool created to aid playing with multiple clients in CCP game EVE Online](https://github.com/Phrynohyas/eve-o-preview#hotkey-setup) > [@Dreamingdawn](#): > > i’d like to just use 1 key to switch through each active client if possible? This feature is not supported (and won’t ever be). Sure it looks lucrative and it is possible from technical POV. Still in my opinion this comes way to close to the dark area of ‘unfair advantage’ and ‘input automation’. ---

In the meantime works fine. thx for the tool! One issue: when changing windows user accounts (alt+l) and coming back to the user account that has eve&tool running, tool crashes. One wish: firing up the clients puts their thumb to top left - until a character is selected. Also no keybindings up to that point. Would be nice if this thumb of selection screen could be placed & saved at will - and if one could give a keyboard shortcut. ---
