YMMV. I don't use many tabs at once, a few for terminals. A dozen for 
firefox. Once all tabs don't fit on the tab bar, there are too many of 
them for me. But I totally understand your point.

This is not for the previews in the shell that I miss that, but more for 
Alt+Tab, though for consistency's sake, both features would be impacted. 
Just forget it.
