Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: unity-2d
I used to use the 'Scale' Compiz plugin and I find that the inbuilt
Spread plugin of Natty creates icons which seem to be smaller and harder
to identify.
Can the wasted space around the tiny window thumbnails either be reduced
or made controllable, in order to create more screen real-estate for
being able to identify browser windows based on their text content
(which used to be possible I'm sure).
A workaround may be to create a keyboard shortcut - I propose
Super+Shift+W or Super+Alt+W to spread only the current window group,
meaning that you only the windows from one application instead of from
all applications jumbled up.
This could also explain the fact that windows in Scale (which includes
current window group behaviour) were legible whilst the new Spread
behaviour means they are not.
It's possible I'm getting too old, (I'm 36 now), and can't see as well
as I did when I ran Maverick a few weeks ago.
