Feature request: add an option to display window title text overlay at clientDisplayMode #49

Right now, I can only see the window-title text of a window when hovering over it's mini-window, and when I have many windows of the same type open, e.g. nautilus, it's hard to see which one is the one I want to switch to.

In that situation it's cumbersome to hover over all of the mini-windows of same type to see their title in order to switch to it. I would propose to have a possibility to add the window-title text to the mini-windows, in a manner which does not break the design by filling all of the mini-window with text, if the title text is super long. Also, control over size, color, font, placement inside and eventually a bit outside of the mini-windows would be desirable.

Here, here!! This would make Skippy more functional for me. I wouldn't really need a tasklist anymore if this were implemented. Thanks for all your work so far. It's a wonderful tool as is. I'd just like to see it become what it has the potential to be.
