I know. But it was a bad one.

Was this a reported feature request?

Not quite. For small windows, I'd estimate more than 50% is covered by the
icon. And even for normal windows it is more than 5%, at least on a 5:4
monitor.

I agree the icon is a nice idea in general. However, the current solution is
certainly not a compromise between the two different needs. The icon is way too
big. Users who recognise windows by their content are clearly disadvantaged,
especially in combination with the darkening effect.

> So I don't think we have plans to revert the change, sorry.
Again, please rethink this. Couldn't it be made optional?
