Better default settings values for nicer design

Currently the default view looks like this, small icons on the bottom right with a dark background:
windowoverlay icons current

Here is how a different default could look, which makes the apps more quick to distinguish based on their prominent icons:
windowoverlay icons modified

  • larger icons (128px)
  • positioned in the center
  • transparent background
  • opacity increased on hover instead of decreased to emphasize the app
    windowoverlay icons changes

I’m also wondering what the general plan for GNOME design is – stay without icons or are you thinking about adding them to the windows @allanday @jimmac?

Thanks for the suggestion @jancborchardt.
I had to give it few days to get used to it but now I think that it looks much better.

The changes are done in sustmi/gnome-shell-extension-windowoverlay-icons@7b3625d and will be present in the next release.

Btw, @jancborchardt, would you mind if I used your second screenshot from this issue in README.md of the extension?
