Bug Description

Binary package hint: light-themes

When a window is demanding attention, it is supposed to have a different color in the window list. With the new Radiance theme, it's practically the same color, so it's hard to notice.

See the XChat window in the attached image to see the difference between Human and Radiance.

Well, this issue officially got worse after the update.

No there is no way to tell the difference between:
- active window
- inactive window
- window demanding attention (except for the bold font)

See screenshot:

Xchat is demanding attention
"gnome-applets" firefox window is the active window
gnome-terminal is an inactive window
