This imposes the problem that some windows (those that are very wide or
high) become very small. Anyway, in the last days using gnome-shell I
have been thinking about a possible solution for it.

It would be nice if mouse-over in the overview would (after some delay,
say 0.5s) zoom into the selected window to about 70% of the overview
size so the user can easier identify a window. Some windows just look
very similar (for example if you opened multiple terminals).

Just my 2 cents,
Johannes
