There are two problems to avoid here. One is the current problem, where a half-resolution screenshot is in an Uncanny Valley between looking (a) like the actual app or (b) obviously different from the actual app. It ends up looking like a display bug.
If you go for (b), though, you risk a new problem, which is making the phone seem slower than it would seem otherwise. If you see a desaturated screenshot with a spinner just for a couple of seconds, the mere fact that you saw a spinner at all will give you a memory of having had to wait, whereas you might have forgotten one or two taps that did nothing because you were tapping on a screenshot. One way of reducing this would be to give the app a couple of seconds to resume, then desaturate only if it hasn't. Then give it another couple of seconds to resume, and put up a spinner only if it still hasn't. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1378267 Title: Suspended app screenshots are blurry Status in Ubuntu UX: Fix Committed Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: It's really obvious that an app has been suspended when I switch to it and the screengrab is really blurry. Would be really nice if it wasn't blurry. See screenshots. One shows blurry clock that I switched to, and then the non-blurry real clock a few seconds later.
