Comment 7 for bug 847944

"The specifications very clearly call for an orange outline around the windows." I guess this is another frustrating example of a private specification but a public implementation.

I presume you're right about bug 825545 being a wishlist item that wasn't part of Design's specification but the current Alt-tab switcher has several usability issues (not showing the window titles, disabling the mouse cursor (!), and the useless accordian effect). Really, the switcher needs to be a whole lot more like GNOME Shell's version which works.

Two things in particular are inconsistent between the normal alt-tab switcher and the proposed app view: the highlight (thick orange border or white glow) and the title centering.

The Alt-Tab switcher is not in any Desktop Guide screenshots and since I don't have a valid docs reason to reject them, I'm going to go ahead and give a +1 for the Docs Team and pass to the Release Team for a final decision.
