Gnome-shell for Netbooks?

As a proud owner of a 7" eeePC I have continued to search for an interface that really works well for me. Use cases involve the lower default resolution of 800x480, as well as something that scales larger when I have an external monitor plugged into it. Livecrumbs to the rescue!!!

Hi! Just a thought I'd like to share after looking at the screenshots:
Especially in the workspace view, thumbnails for every open window are so small that the tooltip which should tell the window title is completely useless and quite awful. So I'd suggest to add a line at the bottom of the overlay (a sort of "statusbar") showing the full title of the currently hovered window thumbnail and of course the corresponding icon, maybe with a fast but nice fade effect :P. This line would be long as the whole screen so it'd be enough for the longest window title! Something similar could be done for the shell overlay imho..
Anyway that's great, I still have to try it out, but that's the best window switching method I've seen proposed so far. Thanks for reading! ;)
