Add new theme/layout which mimics the built-in app switcher

[kodmanyagha]

There are "macOS" and "Windows 10" style window lists. Is it possible that you add "Mac Style" window list?

Thanks...

Hi,

I'm confused by your distinction between macOS and Mac Style. macOS is the name of the mac operating system. This is the default theme. It aims to blend with the all the other apps and the operating system, on a mac.

Could you please go into more details as to what this new theme would change? You can see here the colors, border values, etc, related to themes:

alt-tab-macos/alt-tab-macos/logic/Preferences.swift

Line 45 in eabc327

MacroPreference(" macOS", (0, 5, 20, .clear, NSColor(red: 0, green: 0, blue: 0, alpha: 0.3))),

.

Thank you

Hi,

Let me tell you explain with screenshots.

Original Macos window list:

App window list:

If you can add this style then it will be awesome I think. Big icons, bottom labels..

It would be complex to offer exactly this. You can get really close to it already today by increasing the app icon size in the preferences. The text is on the right side always though.

There are complex UX issues with the built-in app switcher design as well. Please read this: #82 (comment)

Offering alternate layouts like the one you suggest should be done properly. It shouldn't conflict with the existing appearance preferences. I'm not sure how we present that in the preferences.

Hi. Would I recommend to have a background selection a bit lighter, because it is hard to tell which icon is select on dark background. Windows 10 theme adds a contour, so it is more visible, but the macos theme is barely usable

Hi @gsemet, please read #82 (comment) for discussion around why it's hard to make a light background theme.

Of course, feel free to share a PR if you have an idea on how to execute it 👍

Closing this as it's about someone submitting a new theme now, and there is nothing being discussed here anymore
