Witch – macOS window switcher replacement

macOS, the only OS that still empower its devs to do UX usable with a mouse and keyboard

Windows/Linux on the other hand, is all about scrolling

Why does this Linux/GTK desktop program looks like an iOS setting menu?

Compare to this, all settings available without scrolling: https://manytricks.com/witch/images/4/multiswitch_big.png

You may be already aware of this, but macOS Ventura (maybe earlier versions too) changed System Preferences to work more similarly to iOS. Lots of scrolling and nearly all the checkboxes are toggle switches.

See, you guys don't understand, they only changed the categories (that's understandable because they added plenty, similar to the permission menu), the content menu and controls remain the same, optimized for a trackpad and mouse+KB combo

Again, compare this with the Gnome/GTK screenshot I shared above..

UX for vertical vs horizontal screens (desktop/laptop vs smartphone), macOS did it right, Gnome did it wrong and Windows is following Gnome's mistake

GNOME has been trying (unsuccessfully) to copy the Mac look and feel for several years.
