I sometimes find it useful, although it requir= es I stop and refocus.

The catch is mostly technical: it requires fast good-enough image scalin= g, and I think it probably requires it in the kernel. Ah... I just had a= thought: cropping rather than scaling the windows might be better. Text= windows would probably be easier to identify by part of their text. Acm= e and Sam would be identifiable by their colors and maybe text. Perhaps = crop text windows around the text cursor or prompt, and others to the to= p left? Not sure how well that would work for mothra or page.
