I agree on this and id say it would help if the name of the window was
displayed under or over the image of the window in the spread
workspace. Other than showing the name maybe a slight zoom on hover so
you can see a bit more of a close up view of the window.

Looks a bit dirty id say they shouldnt use a window title bar id like
if it was something a bit cleaner so just the title as a label rather
than embedding a bar and it being really out of context.
