Screenshot of the windows view.

The text labels that are used in the overview are very small. This makes them easy to miss and, sometimes, hard to read.

This issue has been reported by users on several occasions. In one of my user tests, the participant did not spot the labels in the windows view.

Screenshot attached for reference.

I can confirm this. I've sat several people down in front of Gnome 3 on a 21" LCD display and all of them thought the label text too small and most of them wanted to know how make the label text bigger. A customization tool for adjusting basic GUI components like label text could possibly be added in the near future?
