VERY nice mockup. It does definitely look cleaner and more readable. 
There actually is an indication of the currently focused app. You will 
notice the currently focused app has a triangle on the right side of it. 
That is the indication. But the vertical line is definitely easier to 
see and differentiate between open apps and the focused app.
