Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. Natty is no longer
supported and Unity's switcher is quite different. Therefore I changed
the status to Invalid.

Bug description:
My setup: Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal. I did not change any
configuration of Unity after installing the system.
Whenever I press <super>+<w> I can see all open applications side by
side. If I click any of the windows I can switch to the corresponding
application. All that is working perfectly.
I just realised that instead of using the mouse to select another
window, I can use the arrow keys on my keyboard to select which window
I want to switch to. Once I the window I want to switch to is
selected, I can hit <enter> and switch to the selected window.
There is an extremely subtle difference between the selected window
and the others. The selected window looks like it got the focus and
the upper menu shows the window title.
My complaint is simply that this difference between the selected
window and the others is just too subtle.
It should be much more easy to identify which window is selected
during expo mode. I suggest adding some sort of glow behind the
selected window, adding a frame around the selected window, or dimming
the other windows. This feature should be easy to implement and would
greatly enhance the usability of the expo mode.
