Yes, I'll mark as gnome-panel. I see what you mean partially, as the
application icons have a sort of "fade" to them which makes it harder to
spot them quickly.

However in general once you get used to a something you prefer more such
as AWN, it is going to be harder going back. Have you tried enabling
compositing in metacity?

** Changed in: gnome-panel (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: None => gnome-panel
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed

** Summary changed:

- If not using AWN, icons in bottom panel are hard to distinguish
+ application icons are faded and hard to distinguish

** Description changed:

- I was forced to stop using AWN because of a bug when I have
- compositioning enabled. I was struck by how hard it was to distinguish
- between the different applications I had running. I found that many
- times when switching between apps, it took me many seconds to recognize
- the right app.

  When not using AWN most icons just are grey.
  
  I'm attaching a screenshot of "bottom panel" with AWN and a normal gnome
  panel.
