Title:
  Hard to tell which dock apps are running / not running

Status in Unity:
  Opinion
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  The colorized background of dock icons makes it harder for me to tell
  which apps are running. I would prefer that the dock icon backgrounds
  remain the same color regardless of icon content, and that the same
  color is used across apps to indicate a running app. This would make
  it easier at a glance for me to tell which apps are running and which
  are not.

  Similarly, some applications have rather large dock icons, such as the
  Wunderlist browser app. When this happens, there is very little room
  for a background color, so any such change in the dock icon when the
  app launches / quits is barely noticeable. In the future, could Ubuntu
  scale down all dock icons to the same size, allowing for some padding
  for background colors?
