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.

    You're still about three or four weeks away from seeing the new design if you are just using the public version of Windows 11.

    If you want to get the next update early but without the risk of running developer or beta versions of windows, you can join the release preview. It's the next stable version of Windows with all the new design changes, just delivered to you early so that you can take advantage of it ahead of time (either to enjoy the early access, benefit from the updates, or create your own training or guidance for your own teams and users that will update later).

    Got it.

    Running 22H2 (Build 22621.457) from the Release Preview channel; The outline does look much better now.

    Image

    Reverted back to 21H2. With the release preview version, loading an image in Photos as well as a screenshot in Snipping Tool becomes really slow. Also, the display of the notifications bar is too slow.

    I wonder if those are known issues.

    Yes, you need version 22H2 Build 22621.457.

    That version is not publicly available, yet. I did tried it and decided to revert back to 21H2 due to problems unrelated to this thread.
