Thanks for your feedback!
My comments to the solution proposals:
1) Add an animation...
There is already a focus animation in place when selecting an item from
the spread. It's very subtle and quick scale animation for the selected
item to bring a bit smoothness to the selection. We made it very subtle
(and not animate for example the whole movement from spread to the final
position) for a reason that the same spread and animation is used in
every device and both in windowed and staged mode. For example on a
large screen in windowed mode the selected spread item might need to
travel across the whole screen. And changing between app windows via the
spread is something the user is very likely to do a lot.
2) Don't crop the thumbnail...
Not cropping the surface doesn't really solve your problem. To move the
items to the spread from their original positions we would still need to
scale the surface down and translate it to have windows somewhat
vertically aligned in the spread. Scaling and translating are the
reasons for particular app item position not matching, not cropping.
This problem already existed in the previous version.
3) Add some visual feature...
To keep the view as simple as possible I would not add any additional
visual elements to it. One thing that comes to my mind is to round the
corners just a tiny bit to give the spread items more thumbnail feeling.
We might explore that option in the future.
