Description

It looks like AppStream on the houston side generates screenshot thumbnails at various sizes. We could be smart and grab the largest thumbnail, at least on loDPI, to save some bandwidth and time.

If we wanted to get fancy, we could load a small thumbnail first, then crossfade to the higher resolution one to get _some_ content showing more quickly.
