Would you do that to solve anything or purely a visual preference? Doesn't "solve" anything, it's just a preference. I find a vertical layout more ergonomic (like when right-clicking for recent files), and I also think would look more visually appealing. From a usability perspective, making the list vertical would actually be slightly faster for expert mouse users, because you wouldn't have to make a change-of-direction with your cursor to select a window when there are more than 2 in the list. But I suspect this would attract complaints that it stuck out too far and was ugly. Probably not worth exchanging one category of complains for another; vote to not implement. The main argument I could see for vertical is that our default Alt+Tab UI is a vertical sidebar and it might be more consistent that way. I have no preference personally, except I really don't want to add an option for changing it. Don't think this is gonna happen, sorry. |
