Dockbar popup buttons should be larger
Click the "Read full specification" link at the bottom to see a screenshot.

Each item in Dockbar's popup should be at least 2 lines high.
.
Perhaps the icons could be scaled up as well?

Rational:
Ideally, when you moused over one of Dockbar's icons, the popup would contain a thumbnail for each open window, like Windows 7. Not only are the thumbnails functional, but they also make large targets for Aero Peek/Opacify.
.
In the screenshot, however, you'll notice that Win7 isn't using thumbnails because it's running in a VM. However, the clickable area in the popup is still extra large. Dockbar could implement this, as it would make each item easier to click, as well as making Opacify easier to use.

Whiteboard
I have been thinking about making the looks of popup windows a part of the theme as well. But that should require some brainstorming first, since I don't know which part of it that should be themeable and how. The roundness of the corners is one thing and the default colors another, but beyond that?
I agree with you on the heigh of the popup buttons. It's too small right now. /Matias
