Unity/Compiz Scale could use improvements

 

The compiz scale plugin seems to be lacking some important functionality in
ubuntu. I recall in older versions of compiz, in scale when you moused over
windows you got some feedback (when you mouse over a window, the window
title would overlay over the window, and you would get a close button, this
is how Gnome-shell and kwin's scale works).

In ubuntu there is zero feedback when mousing over windows in scale, and
seemingly no way to close a window in scale, like you can in gnome-shell. I
think this behavior is a little confusing, and could be easily improved.
Both gnome-shell and kwin's scale equivalents are good examples of better
functionality.
