Bug Description

How to reproduce:

Enable CCSM->Window Previews
Hover over an running application icon on your dock/launcher/taskbar
Notice that the window title text is rendered into a transparent rectangle and the black window like background or glow is rendered around the live preview and the title text

Desired Solution:

* The text should have its own background (rounded rectangle like worspacenames has for example)
* Text background color and transparency should be configurable via CCSM and have a sane default setting
* The window-like-background/glow height should be reduced and it should just be rendered around the live window preview
* Ideally the distance between the thumbnail live window preview and the text+rounded background should be adjustable as well (currently const unsigned short TEXT_DISTANCE = 10;)

Daniel, it is all very closely related and needs to be solved together to be fully fixed, because without the option to change the text distance you could adjust the glow or window-like-background size to 32 pixel and make it collide with the text.

This problem was not there (before the proposed fix and MP), because the glow/window-like-background was rendered around
thumbnail and text.
