Icons in Alt-Tab

[Ariel Arjona]

I think the window outline is really nice as an additional hint, but 
like I mentioned below, since I have most of my windows maximized, I 
can't really use it (all outlines are the same size).

Furthermore, I realized that when I'm working, I'm application-oriented. 
I do not remember where in the screen my windows are but I do remember 
what app I'm working with because the app remains constant throughout 
the task, unlike window placement.

When I have to depend on window placement for task switching, any 
alteration would slow me down (since all window outlines look pretty 
much the same).

Regards,
Ariel
