Re: change size of windows thumbnails in window switcher dialog(alt+tab)

This seems to work:

style "xfwm-tabwin" {
	Xfwm4TabwinWidget::preview-size = 512
}
widget "xfwm4-tabwin*" style "xfwm-tabwin"

...in ~/.gtkrc-2.0. Adjust values as required. Minimum appears to be 48, maximum 512.

Also run-time adjustable appear to be:
- icon-size (24-128)
- listview-icon-size (16-48)
- border-width (0-8)
- border-radius (0-20)
- border-alpha (0.0 - 1.0)
- alpha (0.0 - 1.0)

Reference: tabwin_widget_class_init ()

Hey, ToZ. I see preview-size and icon-size properties are still in the code. Any way I can access them in Gtk3?

EDIT: Ah, nevermind. You answered that in another topic. I was so close myself!
