[Bug 387828] Re: ALT+TAB with compiz shows really ugly icons for minimized windows

 

At the very least, the preview should show the ratio of the minimised
window as a box (Otto, comment #22).  But really a representation of the
window needs cacheing before it is destroyed.  Bear in mind that if the
user alt-tabs past that minimised window even for a second then it *is*
going to be raised anyway and redrawn at that point, then scaled,
then... (all of which has considerably higher-latency).

On the icon-scaling front, I don't think the huge icons help much.  The
huge icons are too big to be useful, and the small corner icons are too
_small_ to be quickly visibly useful; but either way they also should be
drawn from the show and not a rescaling of a fixed bitmap rendering
(Minimising Firefox still shows this).
