Thanks! I'll pass your kind words on to Peter, Many Tricks' founder and programmer extraordinaire.

Well, it was on the list with one vote, and now it has two :). Thanks for the feedback!

Hi team!

First off, awesome piece of software.  Like seriously.  I was about to do 
SO much work before I found this.  

I second the motion to remove text from the horizontal switcher.  Sounds 
like you guys are already on it, just wanted to say that no app names would 
take this from amazing to pretty much perfect :)

It would have been useful if I'd had that piece of data (horizontal vs. vertical) before replying :). In any event, no, you cannot remove the app names in horizontal mode. We'll put the request on our list of possible features, and maybe we can work it into a future update.

Sorry, just realized that's a Witch 4 answer. In Witch 3, it's still on Appearance, but it's uncheck "Show application names when cycling through all applications' windows."

Unless I'm misunderstanding, you want Appearance > uncheck "Show app names in vertical lists when cycling through all apps' windows."

hi, is there a way to disable the app name.. i know you can bring down the 
opacity all the way down, but i want to disable it completely and have my 
apps centered in the witch switcher, without the negative space created by 
just disappearing the app name. thanks.
