Dynamic sizing of thumbnails in alt+tab window selector

[zipzorp]

Added dynamic thumbnail sizing for thumbnail-only alt+tab window selector. Improved icon sizing for icon-only alt+tab window selector.

I think maybe the 256 is too much - this affects icon+thumbnail mode also, and in my 1080 monitor the previews drop to the bottom of my monitor.

With a netbook-sized monitor:

I don't mind increasing the icon size a bit but maybe 128 max or something. Any bigger and we would have to start taking the monitor's size into account, and adjusting dynamically based on that. (which may not be a bad idea, but it can be looked at later)

What about 4K 27" at 150%?

You're right about that. I made the icon size changes based on 1080p -to-4k screens only, and I did not alter the icon sizing function. On higher res screens the icons were too small in my opinion. I will submit a new commit soon with dynamically sized icons as well with better dimensions for lower res screens.

Thank you for your feedback.

Updates made to fit smaller screens and UI scaling better. Made the label dynamically sized as well (in my opinion, the original cinnamon styling is far too small on higher resolution screens)

The icon sizes look good now, but the text size I'm getting doesn't look like your screenshots, it's way too big, and gets ellipsized 8 characters in.

• 1920x1080: it looks ok, but still much larger than before
• 3840x2160 hidpi (scaled to 1920x1080): The text is too large
• 1024x768: Too large

I don't have any text scaling, and my font sizes are 10-11.

Not too big in my opinion. Your opinion is different and that's fine. Like how it's my opinion that the default text is far too small. To me the larger text looks perfect.

I've made changes to suite your personal preference better. I will add options to the window configuration app so that users may configure their own min and max font sizes.

Latest commit should make everyone happy. You can now set maximum thumbnail sizes and minimum text sizes through the "Windows" settings window. Can add further customization based on request.

Thumbnail max size 400px

Thumbnail max size 1000px

I don't understand. Window titles always use a regular font size except here.
