Title:
  Switcher (Alt-Tab) does not respect monitor-defined scaling factor

Status in Unity:

Status in Unity 7.2 series:
  In Progress
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “unity” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Unity switcher doesn't get properly scaled on HiDPI monitors.

  [Test case]
  1. From Unity Control Center -> Displays -> Change the monitor scaling to somewhat
     different from 1.0 (might be both bigger and smaller, your choice).
  2. Open some windows and press Alt+Tab
  3. Both Switcher icons, application names and spreaded windows (when pressing down, or
     right-clicking on an icon) decorations should be scaled to match the selected
     scaling factor.
     In Multi-monitor scenario it should match the scaling factor of the monitor where the
     view opens (so where the mouse is).

  [Regression potential]The potential of regression is basically none,
  since we just moved from fixed sizes to relative sizes and unless the
  scale value is set to an invalid value, this should work as it happens
  in other unity views that do support scaling currently.
