How do I make the Alt+Tab in LXDE to show icons only, similar to Windows XP's Alt+Tab dialog?

This is how it looks now:

And this is the old XP style dialog:

You need to edit ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml (or ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml if you're on Lubuntu), and add <dialog>icons</dialog> to the Alt+Tab and Alt+Shift+Tab key-bindings, so they look like this:

<!-- Keybindings for window switching -->
<keybind key="A-Tab">
  <action name="NextWindow">
    <dialog>icons</dialog>
  </action>
</keybind>
<keybind key="A-S-Tab">
  <action name="PreviousWindow">
    <dialog>icons</dialog>
  </action>
</keybind>
