Suggestion for the `Activities Overview`

[Gavin Engel <gavin engel com>]

Hello all,

This is the first time sending a message to this mailing list.  Let me first say, I absolutely love the new Gnome Shell, and I find it to be the most intuitive desktop UI I've ever used.  Especially with Gnome Shell Frippery extensions, I feel like I get just about everything I'd want in a desktop environment.  Thank you all for your hard work.

Now, if you wouldn't mind humoring me for a moment, I'd like to make a humble suggestion.  I am a huge fan of the hotspot Activities Overview.  There is only one thing that is a tiny bit lacking and makes recognizing the open windows easier: Thumbnails on top of the actual windows.  I would definitely find it easier if I was able to see the thumbnail of the open program in the window itself.  Oftentimes, I have difficulty recognizing what the open window is, because its so small.  Let me show you a quick and dirty example screenshot of what I mean:

Notice how I've put a thumbnail image in the center of each of the 2 preview windows?  That would make it a teeny bit easier to recognize at a glance which program is which.  

Is this something I can activate myself in a setting?  Or, is this something that someone else is trying to achieve?

In any case, I appreciate your time and work, thank you again.
