It uses a logarithmic scaling to preserve relative size between items, while obtaining previews of comparable size.

But that would be quite cool, I'll talk to njp about it Leen: While that could be quite cool, it would be out of scope for the window manager, and would really be something that would be implemented in a WM spec and then implemented somewhere like wnck (I expect).

A chat application can show more valuable information then "only" a screen shot for instance, the same for gimp and media players. I believe awn implements a plugin system like this (http://wiki.awn-project.org/index.php?title=Plugins) Regards, Leen Hi,
