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.

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Settings

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.

    It'll come to the entire world in a few months but if you want it now you can install the previews edition to get an early access preview of what's coming later. Just remember that the only way to leave the preview is to erase your computer or wait for the final public version to be installed.

    I am on the insider program already...
