    Shade as a button? I just mousewheel up or down on the title bar to shade/unshade and save on misclicks. Can even cycle through all the shaded n stacked windows if you keep wheeling up. Really though, it's slower and harder to read than just using alt-tab.

    I too keep shade as a button. I've also set double clicking the title bar to toggle shade instead of maximizing. I rarely work with maximized windows and I often switch application hopping as I go from reference to reference. It is something I wish I had on my work computer--but they're glued to Microsoft. I'm a little surprised I'm not required to use IE6 for our internal tools.

    I do that sometimes. Just as long as the close button is at the top right where it's supposed to be, and everything else is to the top left, the details aren't so important.
