Taskbar thumbnail

I know that it's an intentional change. This is not a question of visual
appeal, but of usability. Don't take this as an insult, but this change is
really unusable. Let me explain why.

The main purpose of using Present Windows effect is to visually search for the
desired window. Also, all applications try to display its content in the center
of the view. Thus, placing the icon and label in the center of the thumbnail
overlaps its contents and make it difficult to find the desired window (see
first attached image). The designers of Windows/GNOME/Android (and I believe
the macOS/iOS too) understand this and don't overlap the thumbnail with
additional content, but display next to it or on hover (see second and third
attached images). This is also why tooltips in the taskbar display the label
above the thumbnail rather than on it (see fourth attached image).

Now I have disabled the icon and label on the thumbnails, and that almost suits
me, except when I need to lookup for a window that displays text (like a text
editor) - in this case, the label would be a good helper.
