BN Switcher Changelog

What's new in BN Switcher 2.0.0.2705

Mar 13, 2008
  • New: Windows now have a label, background color, and border. All are customizable. Labels can display the following information:
  • Filename of the application.
  • Window icon.
  • Number shortcut.
  • Memory used in megabytes.
  • Process name.
  • Window title.
  • New: The first 9 windows can be activated by pressing the respective number on the keyboard.
  • New: Filters can be applied to narrow down the windows that appear. They can also be toggled during a session. Available filters:
  • Search by window title (default shortcut Ctrl F, or simply type to automatically display the search box). You can search using regular expressions (an obscure feature that I keep forgetting about).
  • Exclude minimized windows (default shortcut Ctrl M).
  • Hide a particular window (default shortcut Ctrl H).
  • Show only the windows belonging to a certain program (default shortcut Ctrl W).
  • The default shortcut to remove all filters is Ctrl R.
  • New: You can now close windows during a session (default shortcut Alt F4 or middle-click a window).
  • New: Added Grid View, which arranges windows in a grid. It is intended to make the window numbers easier to use.
  • New: Mouse shortcuts can now be restricted to a certain monitor instead of applying to all monitors.
  • New: Added the "Begin and Select Next" command that begins a session and selects the next window.
  • Change: Animations may appear smoother due to using a different method of smoothing stuff.
  • Change: The default shortcut for minimizing all windows except the selected one changed from middle-clicking anywhere to right-clicking on a window. Beware: middle-clicking a window will now close it.
  • Change: Reorganized settings into tabs.
  • There may be other changes that I've missed.
