on GitHub

Tested on build 22000.282.

New features

• Windows 10 window switcher features new configuration options:
  • Always show switcher on primary monitor
  • Show windows only from current monitor
  • Theme selector: Mica, Acrylic and None
  • Corner preference: Rounded, Rounded small, Not rounded
  • More options for row height
  • [Alt]+[`] shows the switcher only for windows of the foreground application
  • [Enter] switches to selected window (same as [Space]) (#240) (.1)
  • Navigation using arrow keys (#240) (.1)
• Ability to choose behavior for Cortana button: hidden, shown and opens Cortana, shown and opens Widgets (#255) (.3)
• Builds are now automatic, generated as soon as new content is pushed to the repository and compiled on GitHub's infrastructure (.6)

Feature enhancements

• Clock context menu options "Adjust date/time" and "Customize notification icons" open in Control Panel instead of Settings

Fixes

• Taskbar context menu not displaying properly when using classic theme mitigations should now be fixed
• Reliability improvements, correct injection, avoid double patching
• All windows should now be properly detected and included in the Windows 10 window switcher
• Performance enhancements for Windows 10 window switcher: layouts are now precomputed when a window change occurs, so it should be very fast to open and consistent, no matter the current load; also, fast switching does not trigger the window, as it should
• "Show Cortana button" taskbar menu entry now works again (#252) (.2)
• Fixes a bug that prevented correct opening of some applications (like powershell) when EP was registered as shell extension (#256) (.4) - PLEASE NOTE THAT RUNNING AS SHELL EXTENSION IS STILL EXPERIMENTAL, UNSUPPORTED, AND ONLY RECOMMENDED FOR SPECIFIC USE CASES THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ALREADY; otherwise, just dropping the DLL in C:\Windows is enough
• Windows 10 window switcher switcher now correctly displays UWP apps immediately after launch (#266) (.5)
• Selection and highlight rectangle are now correctly drawn when using light theme on Windows 10 window switcher (.5)
• Keyboard selection (left, right, up, down, space, Return) also works when window switcher is shown by holding down the ALT key (#263) (.7)
