Desktop (please complete the following information):

Additional context It is impossible to work with the tabs of an application over which I have installed a window preview (for example, as in the video above, to display video memory) because the window preview has a strong indentation for interaction, thereby overriding control over the application window

Thanks for the feedback. The tool makes a clone of the whole window and part of the window is its shadow. The only solution I can see is a custom crop of the clone since every GUI toolkit (GTK, Adwaita, ...) uses a different shadow size.

Thank you. Can I do something for this?

Maybe it's possible to disable window preview control so that mouse clicks pass through in a pass-through manner so that I can control other application windows under the "preview window shadow mask" without affecting the preview window?

Sorry for the delay. I'll try to do something about it, eventually. The truth is that I mostly use fullscreen windows as a source for thumbnails. You're right that setting the widget unreactive would make the thumbnail invisible to mouse events, but also unmovable, unresizable and uncloseable (using a mouse). I can add the option if it helps you.

@3ibod If you are still interested, I solved this issue and moved the window thumbnails into a standalone extension. The next AATWS version will support this extension instead of using its own built-in module. You can try it here: https://github.com/G-dH/window-thumbnails
