Re: [Ayatana] New Alt-Tab

First of all, I'm no programmer. Second of all, I'm probably missing something. Third of all, how about making "Toggles" the Backlight Mode default? That way, it will be clear on first sight what alt-tab selections there are, especially if it only cycles through open programs. The white highlig
