I just found WinSwitch which replaces Fast User Switching in your menu bar. Screenshots and a description of what it does can be found Here . Nice little app

Yep, that is a nice piece of software. I've been using it for a while. The best way to describe it is that it is how Apple should have made FUS to begin with.

The developer has real talent. Synergy is one of the few pieces of shareware I've felt were worth the registration fee.

I've been looking for this app for a while, i keep seeing screen dumps with the icon instead of the name, never got around to asking what it was.

Its nice that it uses the hacked API so you can cmd-drag the icon around.

Synergy rocks as well.

I just discovered this app yesterday, and I agree that this is how Apple should have made FUS.
