That's the idea!

I tend to see this as something that should happen outside of 'activities' mode.  This does not diminish the importance of the 'Activities' mode however ... which is still better for an overview and workspace management.  Now that I see that it is possible ... next is, will it be accepted by Gnome in general?  What is the right channel/process?

I still don't get what you mean by 'look-alike window decorations'.  Is that it?  Looks so much like what I had in mind though.

instead of showing the titlebars, can you show the window previews instead a la WIndows 7?

I think the 'activities' mode already provides this functionality.  The down-side of it is that it takes a little more time to identify the desired window.  Titles bars don't have mush graphics so they tend to be less challenging mentally & visually.  I prefer to use the activities mode to see what is happening on several windows at a glance -- you know, while waiting for a process to complete.
(or mabe the dash always present and use that as a taskbar with the previews.)
I don't get this bit
