Bug Description

Im setting up a system for live projection which had multiple monitors live to the public.
But the system also needs to be useable. I have a constant issue with alt tab (application switcher) and also clicking on the unity bar when multiple instances of an application are open.

The whole desktops on every screen zooms and fades out. I need a way to disable this zoom/highlight option so I can still use the computer without interrupting the live screen views.

Possibly a simplified switcher only displayed on the main (the screen with the unity bar) or active screen.
