I find it too cluttered - the tag display before tag-used-indicators 
came along was almost perfect - very clean and informative.  Now it has 
gone too far in the eye-candy direction, in my opinion.  Pretty, but it 
detracts from function.

What about a plain over-bar for tag-used?  Better than my original 
thought of an underline, in that the underline tends to blend with the 
border, but an overbar stands out against the screen-edge.

Mostly I don't care a lot about tag-used indicators - they're just 
sometimes-useful instead of continually-useful.  For the bulk of the 
time, I don't care whether a non-selected tag is used or not - I just 
want a subtle confirmation of whether a non-visible window has closed or 
opened yet.  What I mean to say is that I do like having them, but I 
want them to be subtle.  :-)

Karl.
