Changing the "Alt-Tab" Look

I was wondering, is there anyway to change the icon sizes of the alt-tab thing? cause they are so small, its kinda hard to see... and plus that dialog thing is ugly hahaha is there anyway to spice it up? i've tried looking around my system for a control panel option, but there isn't. just wondering if there was any way someone knows about.

I don't know if it is or will be configurable but the look of the Alt+Tab box has already been changed in CVS HEAD (after KDE 3.2). It's been changed to use a vertical list with bigger icons and the window title.

Yes, the development version. But beware, it's *not* a release.
That means it might not compile, it can crash, cause data loss,
all kinds of stuff.
Good for developers and curious people, but not so safe
for people wanting to do *work*.

I just wanted to point out that someone thought the same
as you and addressed the problem. I don't think this new version is
configurable or even themeable, though.

Alrighty, thanks for the heads up. :)
