Using Ubuntu 12.04 here and unfortunately the blue triangle is gone. :-(
If the "ubuntu designers" don't like it anymore and dont't want it on by
default, there should be at least an option to activate it.
In 12.04, if some window wants attention, only the tiny arrow on the
left side of the indi
@seb128: Instances of an application I hadn't even considered.
Interesting.
As for "window icons", it's not so much that I think it's necessary to
show them, I think it's necessary to show that they changed. The easiest
way would be simply to show them, but I can imagine others.

it seems like also that part of the issue described there is "alt-tab
doesn't make easy to distinguish between instances of an applications"
or "there should be a way to easily see windows icons since some
applications use that mechanism to convey informations (i.e skype)",
maybe it's worth opening
I guess it might help if I explain that the reason I'm so pushy on this
issue is that I really would like Ubuntu to remain the OS with the best
UX out there. I'm not doing this to be annoying ;)

@johnlea: what if there are two or more windows trying to grab my
attention? With a multi-window messenger, that's a common enough case -
sod's law has it that everyone will try to reach you when you're afk for
your lunch break. So the alt-tab behaviour you describe is helpful, but
still doesn't so
@unwesen; thanks for your detailed bug report!
Marked 'opinion' because the official Ubuntu pattern for surfacing
alerts is to use the indicators and/or the notification system (while
will be enhanced during the 12.10 cycle). Agreed with your comment
regarding the difficulties of improving the in

Excellent news! I should've thought of that screenshot earlier :(
Well, I don't mind *where* I can see it, so I didn't think it was useful
to link it to the alt-tab UI. Apparently that was wrong!

Thanks a lot for the update, until you post that alt-tab screenshot I
didn't realize you were talking as well about icons in the previews of
the alt-tab ui, the "claim for attention" and "notice what received a
message" always got linked to the launcher bar on the left to me, I
didn't realize befor
Well, let's get back to the initial problem, then.
Some applications (by example of Skype) have multiple windows, and
need/want to notify the user when a specific window requires attention.
Chat applications are the example where I noticed them, but you could
come up with many examples.
I've uplo
Hum? No, that's not my argument, maybe I didn't understand the issue
though, it got confusing and mpt seemed to explain a different issue
than your then when he wrote
"3. An application tile wiggling can show which application owns the
window that is requesting your attention. But it does not show
Your argument is that if the world doesn't conform to your vision, the
world must change?
The per-window notification does not come from the blue corner, but from the
fact that
