Created attachment 139641 [details] Current taskbar thumbnail SUMMARY Currently the size of the taskbar thumbnail is fixed and doesn't depend on the size of the source window and for windows with non-standard sizes contains a lot of empty space on the wider sides. It would be great to make the size of the taskbar thumbnail proportional to the size of the source window.

That would be quite nice IMO. Off course we would need a max size so the thumbnails don't grow infinitely.
If we did that, there are basically two options, at lrast for the single-window use case 1. Keep the height the same and make it skinnier. This would cause the title to be elided more often, and the close button location would shift around. 2. Keep the width the same and make it taller. This would result in the tooltip being absurdly huge, and the close button would still shift around. #1 is probably the better option, though neither is ideal. In addition, how would we handle the case of multi-window tooltips? It gets ugly. In the end I think what we have is the best compromise between that complexity and the occasional visual awkwardness with tall and skinny windows. That said, if anyone can submit a merge request that proves me wrong by seamlessly handling all the edge cases and looking good, I'm all for it.
