NanoSwitch v1.1.0

What's new

• Close windows directly — hover any thumbnail and click ×, or press W to close the selected window without leaving the switcher
• App icons on thumbnails — each cell now shows the app icon for at-a-glance identification
• Improved readability — text stays legible even when windows behind the switcher are white or light-colored
• Frosted glass UI — smoother vibrancy effect across the switcher panel
• Auto-install check — if NanoSwitch is launched from outside /Applications/, it offers to move itself automatically
