@asdfxyz1 I had the same problem. Whatever method you were using would close the old program or window before it opened the new program or window. That's why it showed your desktop in between changes. This method opens the new window first and closes the previous window in the background, so the switch looks seamless.

@asdfxyz1 Nope. I am using an old sata drive I had sitting around. If I were to rebuild these computers I would be using a passively cooled CPU like the new AMD Hudson, a fanless power supply, and a SSD to cut down on noise.

@shaxs But yours switches instantly. Are you on a HDD or SSD?
-
@asdfxyz1 I'm not sure that is all possible (sorry for late reply)

How do you get the programs to switch without the desktop being shown for a short instant? I have a Sandy Bridge 2.66 ghz so my comp isnt slow by any means.
Whenever I switch, my desktop or whatever programs I have beneath XBMC is shown for maybe a few milliseconds.

I understand everything except starting the button mapping. I've never done it on a harmony remote. I've mapped on controllers before.
My dumb question is how do you actually get to the part where you map the remote. I'm assuming you do it through some software on your HTPC but would just like to have an idea on how that works.

@Kryt0x Sorry for the late reply but that is done through the Harmony remote software you use from Logitech.
