Bug Description
This change requires no string changes. It merely makes the previews in the alt-tab spread mode larger and lays them out with increased space efficiency. Further it outlines the active selection with an orange outline to make it more obvious what the currently selected item is.
Note Regarding User Testing Findings:
- In the recently conducted user testing the new Alt-Tab functionality was examined extensively (we specifically recruited existing users of either Alt+Tab (or Apple+Tab on mac) as our test participants). One of the main issues that was found with the implementation was that users had difficulty seeing which window was selected. This patch fixes this serious issue, and there for it is important that the patch lands in time for this new feature's launch with Oneiric.
