OK it was very early in Germany and I already had two cups of coffee, so maybe 
I was a little weird when posting this :)
Explanation:
When you hover over a taskbutton in the taskbar all windows (except the one 
under the mouse pointer) are faded to opacity 15. That makes hidden windows 
visible. The effect is undone when the mouse leaves the taskbar.

It's only an experiment, so feel free to criticize it. As I already mentioned 
before I expect a certain amount of people to hate it :)

it's against libtaskbar (and libtaskmanger, but maybe not in a final version 
if continue to work on it)... just a few lines of code until now.

Greets, Hans
