Rendering Status of Elements when Lens is Active

 

There's an inconsistency in rendering status of elements while a Lens is
active. As seen here
http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/zty9kgns/Workspace1_003.png , the Unity
Launcher is grayed out, while the top panel isn't.

With this identified, how should the top panel be treated? Visually, it
needs a differentiation from the normal clickable state.

On the other hand, we can also consider changing the panel's behavior
instead of the visual treatment, like how it's done on GNOME Shell while on
Overview http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/8yunbmeb/Workspace2_008.png . Let's
keep in mind that Lens and Overview may not be apples to apples in this
case, though. Does it really make sense to make the panel inactive while a
Lens is active? It may, but this will also depend on future plans for Unity.
