Sorry, guys, I should have realised that you probably don't spend a lot
of time with Win/Mac.
So a slightly different question...
When using Alt-Tab for switching between windows, would you like windows
of a particular app grouped under that app?
So, for example, you have 3 Firefox windows, 2 email windows and 1 IRC
window open.
Do you want Alt-Tab to show you:
Option 1 - Firefox icon, Email client icon, IRC client icon. You select
one to view its individual windows (this is the Mac way, and seems to be
the Gnome 3 way too now).
or
Option 2 - 3 Firefox windows (with Firefox icon on corner of each), 2
email windows (with icons) and 1 IRC window (with icon). You can access
each window directly (this is pretty much the current implementation and
also the Win way).
Back to you...

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
