Title:
Option to change Application Switcher color/opacity is broken
Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in compizconfig-settings-manager package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Steps to Re-create:
# Open compizconfig-settings-manager
# Enable Application switcher plugin
# In the plugin settings go to the general tab
# In the Background section check 'Set background color'
# and below that specify the desired background color and opacity
Expected: Should change background color and opacity of the application switcher
Actual: There's absolutely no change, even after restarting compiz
IMO this is a big issue, because the defaults for the application switcher are horrible - it has a highly transparent background by default making window titles hard to read, and because this setting is broken it's impossible to change it
This also happens with the equivalent setting in the Static
Application switcher plugin as well
IMO in addition to fixing this, the default should really be changed
well to have a more opaque background for the switchers... this is an
accessibility issue. Take a look at the attached screenshot, this
looks horrible and the titles are hard to read
