My computer has a lot of memory compared to the tasks it is used most of the
time. I could bear with some megabytes wasted because of storing screenshots of
minimized windows.
If RAM is low, stop some apps or turn compiz off, which will significantly
decrease memory usage.
I can't believe this
What about adding a hook to the minimize event on windows, and grab a
screenshot of it. You can later use that screenshot - you won't get a
live preview, but it's waaay better than just the icon. AND windows
does the same thing.
A simple hashmap could store the thumbnails in memory by window
Actually that would be even worse because some windows take a _long_
time to draw again so you'd get a delay waiting for them to do so to get
a thumbnail or you'd get icons then anywhere from right away to a second
or two later the thumbnails would start to fill in.

"It did something really hacky. Basically when you minimized a window the core
would store a thumbnail of what the window looked like before it minimized. It
was not live."
That's not a bad idea, I think it's still better than showing just an icon.
You could also try having it remember which wind

This doesn't completely disable the scaling as that looks pretty
terrible too (tiny little icons) but it is a nice trade off between not
scaling at all and scaling like we were before.
** Summary changed:
- Compiz shift-switcher should show preview for minimized windows
