# Windows Alt+Tab

An Alt+Tab window switcher for Cinnamon that shows **live window thumbnails (previews)**, in the classic Windows style.

## Features

- **Live thumbnails** of every window while you hold <kbd>Alt</kbd> and press <kbd>Tab</kbd>.
- Each entry shows the application icon and the window title.
- Items wrap into multiple rows when there are many windows, centered on the active monitor.
- Minimized windows are dimmed so you can tell them apart.
- **Middle-click** a thumbnail to close that window without leaving the switcher.
- **Right-click** a thumbnail to open the standard window menu (minimize, maximize, move, close, ...).

## Usage

Enable the extension in **System Settings → Extensions**. From then on, <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>Tab</kbd> uses the thumbnail switcher.

While the extension is enabled it sets the Cinnamon `alttab-switcher-style` to `windows`. When you disable it, the previous switcher style is restored automatically.

## Notes

This extension provides only the Alt+Tab switcher. It does not change any other part of the desktop.
