theme: Make the running indicator look as it's supposed to
Last modified: 2011-06-27 17:11:13 UTC
Apparently, the running indicators were supposed to look as they do in the mockup: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell-design/plain/mockups/static/overview-window-picker.png But for some random reason, the edges of the SVG were being clipped when using it as a background-image on the dash, which made the effect rather subtle compared to the correct behavior. I'm attaching patch that modifies the SVG here so people can try the "correct" look, but we should probably find the real cause of the clipping bug.

Thus, fixing the SVG is correct, and this patch is OK to commit with an updated commit message that doesn't imply that it's a hack.

So the running indicator didn't actually work properly, and was a lot more subtle than intended.
