Well... I think - - In case of one window, you do not need this Display Dash. - In case of two windows, just display the names just like current one. In the list there will be only 2 names. Instead of starting the list from the top, you can start it from the center of the left side. (like this http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/8283/screenshotm.png) - In case of 10 windows, just put a scrollbar in the right side to the list, so that all windows can be scrolled. The design is very good. I think the website address can be removed from the list, only favicon and site page title is better. Also can you please try with a thinner border for the Display Dash. I think the thinner border will make it better. > > Another problem could be that an application don't set his title very good. > (just an example) gedit set his title to "some unnamed document 1", > we have 4 new documents open. > when we want to switch we get: > some unnamed doc... > some unnamed doc... > some unnamed doc... > some unnamed doc... > Would it be technically possible to get in that case something like: > some unnamed ... 1 > some unnamed ... 2 > some unnamed ... 3 > some unnamed ... 4 > > May be possible but why do we need that? You can do one thing though. Several windows from same program can be given a number in front of it. In your case: (1) some unnamed doc... (2) some unnamed doc... (3) some unnamed doc... (4) some unnamed doc... But I do not see any need of this thing. -- M. Adnan Quaium URL: http://adnan.quaium.com
