AltSwitch is an enhanced task switcher for Windows that enables effortless navigation between running tasks while displaying a small preview image for each task. The software also supports skins for aesthetic customization.
AltSwitch is a powerful alternative to the Windows Alt+Tab task switcher. With AltSwitch, users can easily navigate between tasks running on their computer using the keyboard and/or mouse, with mouse wheel support included. Moreover, AltSwitch includes a small preview image for each task, with the size of the preview image being adjustable. The task preview includes all task windows, even those that are floating palettes.
To speed up the rendering process, previews are cached for faster drawing. Additionally, there are two different styles of task preview: Fit and Desktop. If Fit style is selected, the task preview is zoomed or shrunk to fit the size of the preview area. When Desktop style is selected, the task preview looks like a screenshot of the entire desktop, with the Windows taskbar being optionally drawn.
AltSwitch even optionally draws performance information for each task in real time. This information includes processor and memory usage displayed as two bars. The software is distributed with two built-in skins, however, users can check site updates to download new custom skins.
Overall, AltSwitch provides a fantastic user experience and a great alternative to the default Windows Alt+Tab task switcher. With customizable previews, easy navigation, and real-time performance information, AltSwitch is a comprehensive solution.
