I believe I have to hide and show for the VWMOnSwitchTo and VWMOnSwitchFrom because when I switch from a desk I hide the "active shortcut" and show the "inactive shortcuts". Likewise, with VWMOnSwitchTo I want to hide the "inactive shortcut" and show the "active shortcut".

I don't want to change completely over to using labels since I want the hover effect, but I think I might be more successful by hiding the inactive shortcut them moving the active label as you have suggested. I'll give it a try and let you know how it goes.

Thanks tnl
