Thumbnails not displaying

Yep, that was it.  I was using a "Basic" rather than "Aero" theme.

Hope this helps some others too!

Well .... it was almost it!

If I open several Word documents, the thumbnails all display properly, and if I open one Excel spreadsheet, it's thumbnail displays as it should, however if I open more than one Excel spreadsheet, each Excel thumbnail now consists of a blank, with a small Excel icon in the middle.  Is this an Excel problem rather than 7TT?

I am running Office 2007.

I'm pretty sure it's not 7TT's fault, but the best way to make sure is to close the tweaker and restart Excel.

That said, Excel was reported to have some other issues with regard to the taskbar, e.g.:

I turned off 7TT's auto start-up and re-booted the computer.  With 2 Excel spreadsheets open I again got the blank thumbnail with the small Excel logo, so it looks like it is an Excel problem.  Thanks for your prompt responses.

I will try this on the work computer which is also running Windows 7, but Enterprise Edition.

Checked thumbnail operation with multiple Excel windows on work PC, Windows7 Enterprise Edition.  Thumbnails display as expected.  Next loaded 7TT and thumbnails continue to display correctly.

Back to my PC ... as I loaded 7TT BEFORE I switched to an Aero display will now try uninstalling 7TT, checking for thumbnail display and then reinstall 7TT and check again.  Keep you posted!

Thumbnail previews don't show occasionally, but I can get them back if I drag-open the context menu of an application (at least for a while).

I'm using 7Taskbbar Tweaker v5.0, but the issue also occurred in earlier versions.

It's a known bug, and is not related to the tweaker.
