Alternative to Gnome 3 Window Manager for Windows 8.1
Thanks for your help, but alt+tab is an obvious, and lackluster solution (who doesn't know about Alt+tab...). Dragging windows is another obvious, lackluster solution. nView is nice, but has a different purpose, and i have an AMD gpu
Neither does what i'm looking for. There must be something that replicates what's shown in the image above.
You are looking for solutions that are not lackluster, yet you are on windows. The two don't jive very well.
The closest thing to the windows menu in Gnome 3 on windows is the windows 8(.1) implementation of AT which actually shows you what is going on in that window, but only with a static image (where if a video is running, gnome shows the video in the window).
Dragging the window sounds to be exactly what you are looking for. Can you explain a little clearer what you meant on that one? (you may be referencing the menu object from Gnome that is something like "send to desktop 2"? (if so, nView does that, but but iirc you can set a hotkey in drivers (at least Nvidia CP) to do the same thing).
AMD has nothing akin to nView at all. I myself have looked high and low for a replacement, but all I have found is malware infected crapware.
EDIT actually: Try this app. It seems to do what you are asking, quite simply. https://code.google.com/p/mdesktop/ (I have not scanned it yet, but at a cursory glance it does what it says with no evil rap under the hood)
