When using Alt+Tab is there any way to make the "selected window" line, a bit bolder or noticeable? its hard to see which one is the selected one.

I know you can change the color of the outline, but I'm not certain about a way to change the thickness.

The color can be changed from Settings > Personalization > Color > Accent Color.

    Once you get the update that enables this new design, it will look exactly like the preview that I shared here earlier. Here's a direct link to the picture in case you did not see it in the earlier reply.

    Just to let you know, I could not change or see my level of Insider participation and found out that if I open CMD as Admin, then enter

    bcdedit /set flightsigning on

    The options to change insider channel becomes available again, and from there I opted for Beta... and am now downloading another version, hopefully with the new Alt-Tab look!!!!

    Thanks for the help.

    Mark.

    Hi, yep, thanks, I did see that earlier, and was curious about the fact that for you, changing accents changes the outline colour of these thumbnails, but for me, no matter what accent colour I choose, the thumbnail outline is always black, much thinner.

    I'm also baffled as to why I get this X in my insider programme settings, and clicking on the "troubleshooting insider builds" link takes me to a windows10 insider page on microsoft! So odd.
