When using alt-tab to switch between windows, it may lead to a situation where the user doesn't know which tab is currently selected, because there are many different highlights depending on WHICH application is opened, not there states.
This can lead to a condition where the user expects an application to be in focus when it might not be true.
See attached screenshot for clarification
Observe that a quick glance of the Terminal Icon could lead one to interpret it as having focus. Only the title being placed underneath the window gives it away. But when a user is fast-switching to another window, they rely more on quick visual clues than complete analysis of everything presented to them.
Also, why is eog's icon highlighted in YELLOW(!) here? |

In some cases it could be rather slow for the user to tell from a glance at the alt-tab switcher to know which app have the focus. In the attached screenshot gnome-terminal icon seems to be highlighted as well. |
