Public bug reported: unity alt+tab shows a pop up of all applications currently running
All the applications are bordered with its own color. At times the colors of some application seems to be the same and choosing one application with continuous alt+tab strokes makes it really difficult to understand which application is currently highlighted ! Though the currently selected application's name is shown and it is bright lighted, which can be taken as a hint ( that this is the current selected app ), but * providing all apps without borders and dim colors * displaying only the selected app bright, bordered and highlighted would easily give a visual clue that that specific app is selected * may be that app's icon size could be made bigger ( it may not mean copying mac launcher, but still its intuitive ) In the attachment, I have tried to alt+tab from firefox (aurora) to a terminal. terminal is already light colored and all app are bordered. Except for the word 'Terminal', the visual clue is really bad to understand which app is selected. I have many times failed to understand this and ended up in wrong app and would carefully see to go to the right one ps: ubuntu brainstorm has a similar request, but a bug is requested by them at the end of the page, but no bug seems to be available [ http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/28858/ says as If highlighting is not effective, please file a bug report. The developers intended it to be an effective guide. ] ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: unity usage -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/958418 Title: unity alt+tab graphics could be more intuitive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/958418/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
