Maximized windows in application switcher have no highlighting

[David Murphy]

Binary package hint: compiz

In the application switcher (super-W), if the currently "selected" application is maximized, there is no visual indication on the window preview that the application is selected. You can tell by looking at the title bar or the arrow on the left launcher bar, but there's no indication on the previews themselves.

This is still present in Oneiric.

... and in Precise

This is actually fixed in 12.10 and onward as selected window tiles now bear a window title at the top of the thumbnail.

This won't be backported to 12.04 because it would require quite substantial changes to the codebase for a lesser problem - it's much safer to keep the current method to preserve stability and allow more time to develop compiz.

Thank you all for the bug!
