Paul,

I think he means the glow around icons on the launcher.
Previously they used to indicate running apps like in Win7, but since 
latest update the glow is on all windows.

Anyhow, I agree with Mark that the glow is redundant here as the running 
apps have dots next to them.

I saw sometime ago an idea to use launcher icon coloring to indicate 
workspace they are in.
Another idea could be to use glow on apps to identify minimized apps.
