Description Colin Walters 2009-01-19 17:49:14 UTC 
* Center the title, reduce font size
* Only show the title on mouseover.  This looks significantly better in
  "overlapped" mode, and fits in better with the concept of the overlay
  as a more "heavyweight" task switch.
* In overlapped mode, lower opacity of non-highlighted windows, to make
  more obvious which one is selected.

Comment 4 Owen Taylor 2009-01-19 19:20:42 UTC 
I think the title part is definitely an improvement. I'm not sure that the transparency part does, however ... a stack of 0.4 opacity windows is pretty hard to make out. In a quick hack-test, temporarily raising the moused-over window seems to work and not be too confusing in terms of navigation.

 * I don't think there is any reason to restrict the title to 
   the width of the actor with this change.

 * I think it would work better to center the title than to put it
   over the title bar, which looks unbalanced to me.

Looks fine.

 Some stray stuff in the patch that will presumbaly get fixed when you merge
 Leftover WINDOW_DEFAULT/NONWHATEVER_OPACITY change
Comment 7 Colin Walters 2009-01-19 23:07:57 UTC 
Ok, committed with additional fixes.

I didn't expand the title for now; we should consider doing that, or possibly move it to the top.
