@MC Return: Thank you for the suggestion. I've read about using CCSM. I tried to avoid it until now because of the advise against it that's around.
I tried to analyze what's happening in the settings when I use CCSM to change the switcher (in a virtual environment), in order to manually change it without installing CCSM. It seems the changes go into '~/.config/dconf/user' (which unfortunately is a binary file). It can be read and modified with the 'gsettings' command. But it seems some of the settings CCSM does are not reflected with the gsettings tool. Then I tried gconftool-2 with no success. Then I gave up. (By the way, changing the switcher can be reverted by removing the file '~/.config/dconf/user'.) In the end I was now just taking the "risk" and installing CCSM on my workstation. Btw in my case it was sufficient to install just the two packages 'compizconfig-settings-manager' and 'compiz-plugins' (without all the others that adding the '*' to 'compiz-plugins' imply). I'm almost happy now, I got the switcher back, and the highlighting. The only drawback now is that I got some flickering between transparent and opaque in the switcher window background while switching. That's not so nice. Also sometimes I got random windows being completely black when switched to. Resizing the window fixes that. Not 100% sure if this is connected to th CCSM though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1083084 Title: add option for alt-tab window grouping disable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1083084/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
