On a more general aspect, and a domain I have no clue about, so take it as an uneducated guess, could't the Alt-tab switcher be the Overview instead of the custom overlay ? I mean that when Alt-tabbing, the user is shown the overview with selection hints around both the currently selected window thumbnail and the application icon in the Dash ? Would that be nightmare UI-wise ? Post-3.0 of course. _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
