@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.
