Not sure why this is listed as incomplete, but surely this is something
that should be addressed as it's a bit inconsistent from an aesthetics
standpoint. It's the little things that matter, and having the colors
too closely matched is absolutely not acceptable by the vast majority of
users out there. It's just too similar to tell apart. There needs to be
a way to quickly and easily identify the application that needs
attention.

For an idea, check out elementary OS. Their "pip" dots on their dock
turn a bright red. Very easy to tell apart. Light sky blue and white,
not so much.

Title:
   Is not clear enough when an application has information or not

Bug description:
  The difference of colour between the two states of the arrow on the
  left of a Launcher tile is not big enough. The colour of the default
  state is grey, not white. When a message is received, instead, the
  colour is light blue. With Skype, probably because of an optical
  illusion, the left arrow when in default state seems already slightly
  tint of blue, looks almost if there might be a message left by
  someone.

  Possible solutions:
  1) Drop the colour on the Launcher arrows (pips)
  2) Use a more different colour
