Thumbnails get clipped off-screen when too many windows are open #69

Something isn't working

Clarification for AltTab The UI is fine as long as the thumbnails fit the screen:
Then if more windows are open, the UI is clipped at the bottom:
Note that you can still select the off-screen thumbnails. Hyperswitch behaves the same
Note that even though the window has its bottom corners rounded, more thumbnails are indeed clipped away at the bottom. You can still blindly select then with a few tabs, as for AltTab. macOS command-tab shrinks icons
macOS Mission Control shrinks thumbnails
Windows 10 alt-tab clips but let's user cycle to off-screen thumbnails
WindowsSwitcher clips but let's user cycle to off-screen thumbnails

Hard clip: AltTab, HyperSwitch I can see 3 ways to implement a solution:
Right now I prefer downscaling as it's the easiest to implement, and I think it's the best UX |

@lwouis Nice evaluation/comparison of the solutions in other applications. Fully agree here, the downscale has the best UX since it does not require any additional non-native navigation ideas to scroll or paginate and one can see at once his pile of windows. |

👍 for downscaling! |

The thing I'm the most excited about actually is not the perf (because on my machine even v2 is instant; I have a recent macbook and no 4k displays), but the fact that we will finally have the thumbnails in order of recently-used to least-recently-used, instead of the order of their stack (z-index) on the desktop. It's a big difference! There are many more limitations that are no longer applying also with this approach.

This means we build a cache as we receive these events in the background, and when the user trigger the app, we can show accurate state of the windows instantly. Of course there is no free lunch, so this approach has its own issues. However from my work on it from the past week, I'm very optimistic! The thing I'm the most excited about actually is not the perf (because on my machine even v2 is instant; I have a recent macbook and no 4k displays), but the fact that we will finally have the thumbnails in order of recently-used to least-recently-used, instead of the order of their stack (z-index) on the desktop. It's a big difference! There are many more limitations that are no longer applying also with this approach.

hard to do fast), or asking the state of the whole system on a timer (what HyperSwitch does today; inaccurate) - instead of one of 2 approaches, v3 observes the Accessibility events such as "an app was launched", "a window was closed". This means we build a cache as we receive these events in the background, and when the user trigger the app, we can show accurate state of the windows instantly. Of course there is no free lunch, so this approach has its own issues. However from my work on it from the past week, I'm very optimistic! The thing I'm the most excited about actually is not the perf (because on my machine even v2 is instant; I have a recent macbook and no 4k displays), but the fact that we will finally have the thumbnails in order of recently-used to least-recently-used, instead of the order of their stack (z-index) on the desktop. It's a big difference! There are many more limitations that are no longer applying also with this approach.

As a test for the vertical placement of the
ThumbnailPanelI opened way to many windows to see what happens. TheThumbnailPanelexpands out of the visibleFrame. There will be some solution required for this use case.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
