Title:
  thumbnail.xml.in needs some love

Status in Compiz:
  Fix Released
Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Problems]

  1. The <_short> description says "Window Previews", while the plugin is called thumbnail.
  2. Indentation in the xml.in file is wrong.
  3. All options, including window title settings are in the "Settings" tab, cluttering and filling it.
  4. It says "Window thumbnails at the taskbar", but will also display them at docks or the Unity Launcher.
  5. it says "Thumbnail window size." in the tooltip, but this is just the value for the maximum horizontal size of the thumbnail.
  6. The tooltip says "Thumbnail Background and Border Glow Color.", which a) should not be uppercase, b) also adjusts opacity/transparency and c) also is responsible for the opacity of the window like background.
  7. Tooltips should not be uppercase, other minor issues.

  [Solutions]

  1. It should say "Thumbnail Window Previews".
  2. Fix indentation.
  3. Rename the tab to "General" and introduce a new one called "Window Title Text", where all text settings should live.
  4. Adjust and modernize this, "Live window thumbnails at the dock, launcher or taskbar" would be a solution.
  5. Add precision to this tooltip and clarify what this value is exactly for.
  6. Change this tooltip to "Border glow color and opacity or opacity of the window like background."
  7. Increase consistency with other plugins and adjust the style to have Compiz identity.
