Not at present - though Finder should work fine. Do you use Spaces, and d0 you not have any Finder windows in the current space? The problem is that these apps are coming out with updates that remove window titles, and that's how Witch knows what to do with them, and where they lie in the window hierarchy.

For Witch 4 (no timeframe), we'll look into using non-published APIs to get the information we need, but that's not something we can do and graft onto Witch 3.

When I alt-tab with Witch, some apps are always at the bottom of the list, 
with a big arrow pointing at them.  Finder was always like this.  The 
Twitter application is now like this, and HipChat just released a new Mac 
client, and it stays at the bottom also.

Is there some way to get Twitter and HipChat to stay in the "window 
activity order" like the rest of the applications?

Thanks,
