No, contrary to the Overview effect, window previews in the task manager are
too small, and you don't have the overview of all applications' contents at
once.
Task manager -> icon-based app management
Overview -> *quick* identification of apps by content

There is no other possibility to quickly distinguish windows by content except
for the Overview effect. Please don't make it unusable with icon overlays.

As a side-node, no other operating system or desktop environment that I know of
uses icon overlays in their overview effect. Moreover, icons are already
visible in the top-right corner of the application, which should be enough.

Destroying the primary use case and purpose of **identifying windows by content
and getting an overview** doesn't make it more usable to anyone, frankly. One
component should do one thing, and do it well.
