I dont think those items are quicklists by right clicking. I think hes referring to a window list on mouse over (kinda how dockbar X does it, kde, etc. when app windows stack). Is fast way to switch between them. > Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2011 09:53:56 +0100

Perhaps it could show the scale preview of the windows (as currently shown on double click) when hovering for half a second. Personally I find the window previews on Windows 7 to be too small. They obviously felt this too as they introduced the feature where if you hover over a window preview,

actually the mailing list is only for discussion. you will see loads of ideas flying around. But some of them may be very hard or impossible to implement. your suggestions seems practical and dockbarX already has something similar, would be great to see it in unity. https://lh4.googleuser
