[FEATURE] Window Switcher : Ability to just use Icons (no preview) #39

Closed mbousq closed 2 years ago

mbousq commented 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I always found previews more confusing than anything else :D. I usually locate the icon to choose which tab I want.

Describe the solution you'd like Be able to set the preview as low as 0 pixel so that I can just have the app icon (at moment min is 16 pixel).

Amazing extension !

If you're not using multiple windows of a single app, why not just replace the window switcher with an app switcher?

I actually do. When I have multiple windows, I mostly use the icons and titles to know which window I am interested in. I find that the previews add too much clutter/confusing as in my case they are too similar (white background with some text on it). I also combine this with the "show selected window" when alt-tabing, that could be interpreted as "full scale preview". Just some thoughts !

The spin button has limitation set to 16 but you can set 0 using the dconf Editor. /org/gnome/shell/extensions/advanced-alt-tab-window-switcher/win-switcher-popup-preview-size

Many thanks, it worked :)

I will change the lower limit to 0 because the truth is that no preview is better than the 16px one :)
