Where do I have to go to make sure that alt tab works properly. Right now when I press alt-tab nothing happens. I don't get the icons to select.

Hi,

which version of Zorin are you using??.

Normally you'd go to: > System Settings > Hardware > Keyboard and look at your settings there!!.

Regards Wolfman :D

This is a compiz setting.
Go to compiz config settings manager>window managemenet>application switcher, and make sure it is enabled. Ofcourse your GPU must support the 3d effects and be enabled. Do you get the other effects? (i.e. the cube, the exploding windows etc?)
I prefer ring switcher myself (super key+tab).

I am using Zorin 5.1

I will check my Compiz settings. If I am logged In with Gnome (no effects), shouldn't alt-tab still work?

Works fine now. I restarted with normal Gnome.
