** Description changed:
When the scale is activated to show the opened application windows,
especially if there are a lot of windows (or if you're using a low resolution),
it's very hard to pick the right window when its content is not explicit.
For example:
1) Open 3, 4 or more application windows with no well visible content (like
pdf text documents, or terminal windows)
2) Click on the application's launcher button twice to activate scale
3) Get some luck and open the right window! :)
Well, this last part is quite hard if the window thumbnails are really
little and they don't differ for something really well visible.
So, I'd suggest to show the a window title overlay over the highlighted
window (the one with mouse over) by default. I'd do that for all
windows, but if you prefer maybe this could be activated only when the
window thumbnails are more than a given number or smaller than a given
amount (compared to screen size).
So, basically we should do what the scale-addon plugin does by default
in our windows. This is an example: http://is.gd/2IA2TK
