[Bug 1329811] Re: Static Application Switcher has no window/background / Cannot figure out what window is selected

 

It is a bug, since in some circumstances, you cannot tell which window
is selected as the border has the same colour as the background.
Compiz's static window switcher should provide the following features:

- Optional background window (with transparency would be cool)
- Two coloured border to provide contrast.  Colours should be selectable.  Default, would be black and red according to me

In an ideal world, all of these options should be part of a theme.

Title:
  Static Application Switcher has no window/background / Cannot figure
  out what window is selected

Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  
  There used to be a window containing all the application icons/mipmaps, but on my system it's gone. It looks very odd. I will attach a screenshot of what it looks like.
