Well what about making it toggle on the cursor hovering the launcher? And
maybe resaturate (maybe partially) the current hovered item?
So it's saturated normally, but when the mouse moves over it only
running programs (and maybe the hovered launcher) remain saturated? I
like the sound of that. My only worry is that new users will think
they shouldn't interact with it since it desaturates when you mouse
over.
Still, I would be interested in playing with a mockup of that for a
while and seeing how well it works in reality.

I just read Bartosz mail about that the running applications aren't

so easy to see and got an idea. Some icon sets, like Faenza which I use,
is
very colorful and since the icons are squared they almost fill the whole
icon place holder so that the illuminated background isn't helping very
much. Therefore for the next iteration of Unity it would be nice to have
a
option to desaturate (grey-out) applications which aren't running. So
that
the toggle function illuminates the background and makes it easy to spot
the
coloured applications instead in midst of the grey ones.
What are your thoughts on that?
I'm not sure that would work very well: the default launcher would end
up this ugly grey strip since no programs are run when you first log
on. As an user-selected option it might be ok though.
