Abstract
Image data associated with a number of launched application windows may be streamed from a remote service to client over a network and displayed by a browser application at the client. In some examples, a control for switching between applications may be provided by the browser application and may not be included in the image data that is streamed from the remote service. In some examples, while a first application window is being displayed, the control may be selected to allow switching the display to another application window. Upon selection of this control, selectable representations, such as thumbnail images, of the launched application windows may be generated and displayed. Selection of a particular representation may cause the display to switch to an application window associated with the selected representation.
