That is an interesting idea. I see two main difficulties, though. First, Alt Tab has traditionally switched between windows. If it started switching between applications instead, that could be extremely frustrating. Second, if it did switch between applications, using the launcher for this would be elegant but perhaps not visible enough. Mac OS X 10.0 and 10.1 did exactly what you describe, but it was hard to see the highlight, so 10.2 introduced a separate overlay-style switcher. - -- mpt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk2bMR8ACgkQ6PUxNfU6ecoBeQCgyk7fxJIhwpnGQmIgsDY8jq0/ H74AoJ1PYCFOpaUc10vfgMZUhvaQj9Xr =y6jf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
