Public bug reported: In Unity's low gfx mode, the dash transparency and blur is [correctly] disabled. However the alt tab switcher *only* has the blur disabled but is still transparent. This makes for severe readability and usability issues because the text becomes very unreadable when there is "busy" stuff under the alt tab switcher. In Low GFX mode the alt tab switcher should be opaque like the dash.
