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.

    No intention to be rude, fixes proposed don't work (for me). So it's still a very dark border on a dark background.

    ?

    To you perhaps. I'm 56 and wear glasses. I can't see it. Are you? its visibility or otherwise is a matter of opinion. In my opinion, it's not visible. Perhaps you can see it just fine but the fact that I and obviously lots of other people raise this issue proves it's a problem. Stupid comment.

    I am at your age and wearing glasses, too. And I have complained about this some time ago. But the Alt+Tab border should be quite visible by now (after all the updates since this issue was raised) weather on light or dark mode. Also, I've shown you how to modify your color settings to fix it by your preference.

    No point in being rude to other people. You should have known that especially at our age. Unless all you want is troll.

    Please make sure you've installed your pending updates. This is the current style shown below. My choice is this dark background with a light cyan-blue border (which is even thicker than the black outline was in the older style). You can also pick any color here, so if you want it traffic-cone orange or anything else visually distinct to you, you can pick it.

    I think this update makes it far easier to see than the one in the picture from above. Feedback like that in this conversation is what made them make this change.

    Click picture to see it in full clarity (except the parts I had to pixelate for privacy).
