Bug Description

When I do Alt-F1 and navigate the launcher tiles it's incredible hard - if not near impossible - for me to see which tile is the currently selected one. The glow is so subtle and thin that it almost disappears.

This may be exaggerated by the fact that I am on a laptop screen with 1920x1200 resolution, but still, it makes the keynav mostly useless.

Update to the correct fix for this:

The backlight-pulsing of launcher-icons is meant to be the focus-indication for the keyboard-navigation highlight... not only for launching apps. This is approved by sabdfl.

Found https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/733154, which now describes the final design. Halo around launcher-icon, "white" backlight, no pulsing.
