the audio player window thumbnail with the album cover art?</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">The window of the player is not really useful in the thumbnail;
it's mostly just a window with some listviews and controls anyway,
nothing interesting or useful. But we do have more interesting
data for it - showing the album art instead (if available on the
mpris). That would at least give some useful/nice info. Plus the
music players are usually minimized anyway (breaking the thumbnails).</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">Thoughts?</p></pre>

Kai and I were thinking the exact same thing (though with a bigger scope than only media players, because other applications could make much better use of the space than a regular thumbnail, too), so yes, it would be much better to show the album cover there!</p></pre>

<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">In order not to change the tooltip dialog size, the controls are placed ontop of the thumbnail with a little fade effect at the bottom to improve contrast.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">There could be multiple grouped windows of a given player, unlikely though, but it doesn't look too bad with that either.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">The app in the screenshot is just for demo purposes, the buttons are disabled in the screenshot, they're a darker black usually.
The button reflects play/pause state, forward/back are disabled if not possible and the controls, obviously, are only shown for tasks with an associated mpris interface.</p></pre>
