The ctrl+alt+tab window effectively gives you a "minimap" of all of your desktop windows. The thumbnails also updates live.

If you use WinSpy you can see the class name is MultitaskingViewFrame

I'd like to keep MultitaskingViewFrameon, put it in the corner of the screen, so I can glance at it to get a quick idea of the content of my other windows.

But currently whenever MultitaskingViewFrame loses focus, it auto-closes.

Is there a way to prevent this behaivor?

Alternatively, is there a easy way to create something like it? I guess a starting point is this class by @cyruz : viewtopic.php?t=66585

You can try to set hook to prevent closing of this window.
For this task You need to write dll.
