Poor visibility of selected window when switching windows

[Martin Wildam]

According to http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/29861/
here my bug report:

When switching windows in Unity (no matter how switcher is triggered), the selected window cannot not be well distinguished. With a little sunlight it is nearly impossible. Affects dark and light Ubuntu default theme.

Proposed solution: Draw a red rectangle around the selected window thumbnail - this would work for whatever theme is the current.

Examples for window switch trigger:

a) Clicking on the browser launcher icon when more than one browser windows are open
b) Pressing ALT+TAB until you get to an app with more windows open and those windows are presented as thumbnails allowing you to navigate within those windows.

Thank you for taking your time to report this bug to make Ubuntu better. Since this requires design input from the Ayatana team, it has been marked incomplete.

FYI: When switching workspaces, I noticed there is a colored frame shown around the workspace thumbnail. For homogenity should be done the same thing for the window selection.

The orange "frame" is now drawn during alt+tab and spread/scale too. Closing.
