Looking at the screenshot, I can't help but think 'one of these is not like the others'...

Which one? (Sorry, lame joke).

This is not really a classic mode issue, but a problem with external "DOCK" windows (where we include nautilus' desktop window, which is enabled by default in classic mode) usually providing full-color icons, which mix badly with the symbolic icons provided by our own internal components ...

Looking at https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/tree/js/ui/ctrlAltTab.js#n95, I don't have an immediate idea of a fix (apart of modifying apps on a case-by-case basis to request a symbolic icon for those windows)

Could just make nautilus put a symbolic icon on the desktop window - do we use a per-icon window there, or is this the icon taken from the desktop file ?

ctrlAltTab: Use a symbolic icon for desktop windows

The nautilus icon sticks out pretty badly among the symbolic
icons we use for other desktop components. This commit finds
windows of type DESKTOP, and uses the video-display-symbolic
icon for them.

Florian, any comment on this patch ?
