Bug Description

Using the backlight mode "Backlight and Edge Illumination Toggles", it's hard to see whether a launcher starts or not as only the launcher item's edges glow.

Maybe a version with the old pulse animation would work better.

Using Unity r1467.

Hes commenting on the wrong bug because hes lamalex, god of commenting on the wrong bug. King among men. Just a heads up htorque, this is a VERY low priority bug as its a visual issue in a non-spec animation. This likely wont be fixed until design +1's the animation.

I linked a branch that was recently merged into Unity trunk that fully addresses this. I also spoke with John Lea about the design on this and he said since Edge Illumination is not a default case, that design ack is not fully needed for this.
