Video showing a window being minimised and getting a thumbnail icon.
Switching between Mac OS and Linux running KDE, one of the things that slows me
down a surprising amount is the lack of thumbnails for minimised windows. That
is, without having to mouse over the icons. See attachment.
I'd put the icons-only task manager in Latte Dock to show minimised windows
separately from program-launching icons and icons representing open programs,
but there doesn't seem to be any obvious way to replicate this functionality.
Even if it's not a live preview of a window, but rather an image from
immediately before it was minimised, that would still be extraordinarily
helpful. This is how it works for programs in Mac OS without explicit support
for live minimised previews - compare a minimised video window from VLC and
Quicktime.
