Re: [Ayatana] Alt-Tab and switching

[Kevin Liao <kevinliao96@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just my personal opinion, the thumbnails in Windows are too small to be useful. I think that the Mac one is better since it is easier for the user to make out icons rather than hunting for details on a tiny thumbnail.

Cheers, 

Kevin Liao.

Hello Ayatana guys!  Just wanted to get some opinions...

I'm looking into making improvements to task/application switching on the desktop with Alt-Tab.  There are slightly different approaches currently for Windows 7 and Mac.

Personally I like the Windows way, as the window preview in the background helps me find exactly what I'm looking for.  I can easily switch back and forth between 2 apps, and I can also see which window is part of which app.

I can see that the app-based approach in Mac isn't a bad thing, but without the window preview, I'm not sure how this approach would scale to smaller screens.

Any thoughts on this, and what would be good for Unity?

Regards,
Pippa
