Window previews

Preview windows on hover; live previews require Screen Recording permission.

Window previews

Window previews let you see what you’re switching to before you switch.

They’re most useful when:

  • you have multiple windows of the same app (browser profiles, multiple projects, chats)
  • you combine taskbar buttons and want to stay fast without guessing

Enable previews

In Taskbar settings, turn on:

  • Show window previews on hover

If Screen Recording isn’t granted, Sulguni will still show the window list, but live thumbnails won’t be available.

Screen Recording permission: Screen Recording

How to use previews

  1. Hover an app on the taskbar.
  2. After a short delay, a preview panel appears.
  3. Click the window you want.

What you’ll see in the preview panel:

  • one card per window (title + app icon)
  • an “active” highlight for the current window
  • minimized windows marked as Minimized
  • a close button on each card (so you can close the correct window without switching first)

If an app has many windows, the panel scrolls horizontally.

Requirements

Live thumbnails require Screen Recording permission.

  • If thumbnails are missing, you’ll see placeholder tiles instead.
  • After granting permission, quit and relaunch Sulguni Taskbar.

Pair with Combine mode

If you like combining windows to keep the bar clean, previews are what keep it usable.

Multi-display note

If you run a taskbar per display, the preview panel follows your window scope:

  • Current display scope shows windows for that display.
  • All displays scope shows everything.
