 CoverflowAltTab is an Alt-Tab replacement available as an extension for [Gnome-Shell](https://www.gnome.org/). It lets you Alt-Tab through your windows in a cover-flow manner.
 
-Originally this was a port of the CoverflowAltTab extension for Gnome-Shell by [palatis](http://code.google.com/p/gnome-shell-extensions-coverflowalttab/) and the recent rewrite with lots of improvements was done by [Lusito](https://github.com/Lusito), so a big thanks and all the glory to them!

-## Customization
+### DBus
 
-To change the keybindings, use your system keyboard settings! See above for the used keybindings and change them to your desire.
+The extension exports a DBus interface. This can be used, for example, with the Custom Hot Corners - Extended extension to launch the switcher by moving to a corner.
 
-Recently we have added a second Animation style you can use instead of the Coverflow one. It is called 'Timeline' and was inspired by the Windows 7 Super-Tab switcher. You can activate it in the extension preferences. Check it out!
+The interface has four methods: 
 
-### Gnome-Shell
+1. The `launch` method which takes a string that should be either `winows` or `applications`
+
+```
+gdbus call --session --dest org.gnome.Shell.Extensions.Coverflowalttab --object-path /org/gnome/Shell/Extensions/Coverflowalttab --method org.gnome.Shell.Extensions.Coverflowalttab.launch "windows"
+```
+
+2. The `next` method which takes no arguments.
+3. The `previous` method which also takes no arguments.
+4. The `select` method breaks out of the switcher.
