[Feature Request] Show Thumbnails for Windows Across All Workspaces in i3wm

[eKeiran]

Before opening a feature request

• I checked the next branch to see if the feature has already been implemented
• I searched existing reports to see if it is already requested.

What is the user problem or growth opportunity you want to see solved?

Problem: When using rofi in window-switching mode on i3wm, thumbnails are only shown for windows in the active workspace. Windows in other workspaces are listed by name but do not display thumbnails.
Solved: Thumbnails should be shown for all windows, regardless of the workspace they are in, so users can easily identify and switch between windows across different workspaces.

How do you know that this problem exists today? Why is this important?

Here's an image of the problem (current workspace is one and it's the only one with thumbnails):

Users with multiple workspaces often rely on visual cues to identify windows quickly. Without thumbnails for windows in non-active workspaces, it becomes much harder to navigate between them.

Who will benefit from it?

This feature would be very useful for users who manage multiple workspaces in i3wm and need to easily switch between windows across workspaces.

Rofi version (rofi -v)

1.7.5

This is not a rofi limitation. Rofi cannot take a screenshot of a X11 surface that is not on a visible workspace.
