Title:
  Window indicators of Unity dock bar are too small

Status in Ayatana Design:
  New
Status in Unity:
  Incomplete
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I am guessing that this might be just bad design than a bug, but
  anyway.

  At least on my resolution the window indicators of the Unitys left
  hand dock way too small to provide reasonable usability. I am talking
  about the microscopic grey dots and arrows on the right and left side
  of the application, which has windows open.

  On my display resolution these arrows and dots are about 1x1mm in size, making them difficult to see in case:
  - You have less than perfect eyesight (mine is perfect though)
  - I have bigger dust and dirt particles on my screen - many work PCs that are used hard and travel a lot tend to have that
  - In bright light conditions
  - They are so small that they are neglected by new Unity users, who are not aware what to look for

  Switching from applications and windows to each other is one of the
  basic features of desktop UI. This functionality should have obvious
  visility and accessibility. The size of the indicators on this my
  resolution is way too small. Also the color scheme (grey on violet)
  lacks contrast to make it even worse.
