Alt-Tab Tweaks #17740

Open udaychhina opened 2 years ago

udaychhina commented 2 years ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Be able to make tweaks to the Alt-Tab window switcher. Something that would allow you to:

  1. Select between showing thumbnails or the icons of the opened windows.
  2. Resize the said icons or have the thumbnails be sized relative to the size of the window that they're representing
  3. Choose the size of the border that shows on the currently highlighted window (the current implementation of the switcher makes it hard to see which one is selected)
  4. Make changes to the background colors and themes for the switcher.

Scenario when this would be used?

Important as a power user because it makes it more accessible for the user to use the window switcher, which is currently very hard to see properly for a lot of users.

good ideas, i feel like some of these are tracked in other spots. One issue is this is a multi-request issue. :(

  1. the background is just an acrylic variant of your foreground. I don't see this being easily adjustable to be honest, more so across windows versions

If changing the background colors is not possible, maybe having the option to change the transparency of the background could make it more accessible for a wider range of people to be able to better see the highlighted window.
