Describe the bug

I use the Lazarus application, which uses many separate windows. Some of them are horizontal windows, the width of the entire screen. These types of windows take up a lot of space on the preview, what looks unsightly.

This is AltTab since v7:

I checked how Windows 11 handles wide and tall windows. Usually we look up to what Windows does. In this case, I must say I'm very surprised at how wide the windows can get:

I think it's reasonable that a thumbnail can be 50% wider than another, at most. This way we garanty that the switcher remains compact.

I wonder how we should align the windows:

top-center (AltTab < v7 was like this) center-center top-left

We can also consider if the backgrounds go all the way up or not:
