When there are many open programs, it will display very small and the words are not clear. Can you let it display several more lines so that the window title can be seen clearly?

Research direction
The issue identifies the Alt+Tab task switcher and includes a screenshot, but names no source file or test. Start by locating the task-switcher entry point in Cinnamon and reproduce the display with many open programs. Done means the switcher shows several lines and window titles remain clearly readable.
