Public bug reported:
The task switcher has a highlight to enable the user can see which task
has focus. In Ubuntu 20.04 (but not earlier versions, I think) this
highlight is so subtle that one can easily miss it.
I'm all for subtlety, but this is *too* subtle. I find myself repeatedly
choosing the wrong task.
My vision is not perfect but decent. Users with poor vision may find
this problem particularly difficult.
