Shape thumbnails in CS6

Question

Is there any way to get the same looking thumbnails for shapes in CS6 ?
With previous versions I could get the position of the shape just by looking at the thumbnail in the layers palette but now they are only generic icons, I have tried to resize them and set panel options ( Thumbnails contents) but without any luck.
It's really a problem if they are many shapes in the document.
Thanks

With the way CS6 displays Shape layers if you target the shape layer and do a ctrl+t  or menu item Edit>Free Transform you get the interactive Free transform bounds you want.  If you want an interactive transform in you script I would think you could use the scriptlistner code generated for the Ctrl+T step.   If you just want to resize the shape some percentage I would think  making the shape layer the active layer and getting the active layer bounds that you could resize the layer some percentage. Being  its a shape layer Photoshop might do the resize using vector.
I don't know why the old look in the layers palette is so important to you when with the new look Ctrl+T gives you the transform bounding box you want in the image window|tab.
This script seems to resized my shape layer  to 50%  each time I run it.
var startRulerUnits = preferences.rulerUnits;
preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
var LB = activeDocument.activeLayer.bounds;
var LWidth = (LB[2].value) - (LB[0].value);
var LHeight = (LB[3].value) - (LB[1].value);
alert("width = " + LWidth + " pixels Height = " + LHeight + " pixels");
var percentageChange = 50;  
activeDocument.activeLayer.resize(percentageChange,percentageChange);
preferences.rulerUnits = startRulerUnits;
