Description

Cinnamon: 4.4.8
Mint 19.3

In Windows ? Alt+tab settings, if thumbnail is selected for "alt+tab switcher style", a setting should be enable to choose the thumbnail size. At the very least, there should be the option of small and large.

Alternatively there could be two settings in "alt+tab switch style"....large thumbnails and small thumbnails.

There current thumbnails would be considered small.

Research direction

Start in the Windows > Alt+Tab settings and locate the implementation of the thumbnail alt+tab switcher. Determine how the current thumbnail size is selected and whether a setting or separate switcher styles is more appropriate. Done means users can choose between small and large thumbnails and the setting is reflected by the switcher.
