Switch Glass - A Configurable Application Switcher with Per Display Settings
Mac AppsIf you are one of those Mac users frustrated by the fact that the default dock is only visible on a single display, or you don't like the way it deals with hidden windows, or maybe you wish you could hide certain apps, you might want to try Switch Glass, an app by well known Apple podcaster, developer and writer, John Siracusa.
Switch Glass lets you configure a (hide-able) floating app switcher for each display in your setup.
• Visibility - Set it to be visible, hidden or auto-hidden/visible
depending on mouse positionÂ
• Position - Choose from eight
positions on each screenÂ
• Orientation - Horizontal or vertical
positioningÂ
• Background - Choose from four different backgrounds
including dark mode togglingÂ
• Styling - Three different corner
stylesÂ
• Icon Size - App icons can be anywhere from 16 to 256
points in sizeÂ
• Icon Spacing - Adjust from 0 to 100% of the icons
sizesÂ
• Margin - Adjustable around the switcher itselfÂ
• App
Sort Order - Apps can be sorted by name or launch order
You can customize what clicking or shift clicking on an app does, with options to bring all windows or a single window to the front. Using option+click will hide the current front app while opening the app you click on. The app switcher has a context menu for each app and supports dragging items to the icons to open them.
As would be expected from a developer known for having exacting preferences in his workspace, you can fine tune almost every element in the app. Switch Glass is $7.99 on the Mac App Store.
