Upon experimenting with Unity I've noticed the backlight for running applications. Is there a particular usability reason that the color of the backlight is exactly like that of Windows 7 where it is the predominate color? I'm not saying Windows (or OS X) should never be copied because of some NIH syndrome, but that before it is copied, it should be seen why it was done and if it adds to usability.If the colors aren't any sort of usability factor, then why not make it so? Maybe the background color could be based on the category the application came from, this may help users find what category an application is in if they used another computer.Another idea is to make the background white and then it changes to green/blue/red for the same reasons as the indicator applet to bring about some consistency.
