Public bug reported:
When using alt-tab to switch between windows, it may lead to a situation where
the user doesn't know which tab is currently selected, because there are many
different highlights depending on WHICH application is opened, not their states.
This can lead to a condition where the user expects an application to be in
focus when it might not be true.
See attached screenshot for clarification
Observe that a quick glance of the Terminal Icon could lead one to interpret it
as having focus. Only the title being placed underneath the window gives it
away. But when a user is fast-switching to another window, they rely more on
quick visual clues than complete analysis of everything presented to them.
Also, why is eog's icon highlighted in YELLOW(!) here?
