This makes it easy to lose track of the active window, which makes acting on it slower. It seems the default behavior is to put the active window at the top of the stack (?), but a clearer visual hierarchy would make this more clear.\r\n\r\nIn lieu of an animation like Windows does it (which I think would be the best approach, but probably beyond the scope of this request currently), it would be good to more clearly highlight the active window to make it quicker to act upon. It would also be nice if the window thumbnails could be dragged directly, instead of just instantly popping between desktop columns as you drag them.\r\n\r\nMore clearly highlighting the active desktop would also be beneficial for the same reasons (faster visual targeting) -- I see you can customize the header colors for the active desktop, but a more clear indicator would be ideal, perhaps a highlight around the entire border would be a good approach, or coloring the entire background. A change to the default active desktop header colors (to make it clearly standout as the active desktop) would probably be a quick and easy starting point."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mzomparelli/zVirtualDesktop/issues/comments/401557161","html_url":"https://github.com/mzomparelli/zVirtualDesktop/issues/201#issuecomment-401557161","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mzomparelli/zVirtualDesktop/issues/201","id":401557161,"node_id":"MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDQwMTU1NzE2MQ==","user":{"login":"benz145","id":12601485,"node_id":"MDQ6VXNlcjEyNjAxNDg1","avatar_url":"https://avatars1.githubusercontent.com/u/12601485?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/benz145","html_url":"https://github.com/benz145","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benz145/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benz145/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benz145/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benz145/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benz145/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benz145/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benz145/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benz145/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benz145/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-06-30T18:07:27Z","updated_at":"2018-06-30T18:07:27Z","author_association":"NONE","body":"Thanks, I did notice the active timer gets colored, but it’s too subtle to\ncreate a quickly perceived visual hierarchy.\n\nI appreciate you looking into these requests!\n\nOn Sat, Jun 30, 2018 at 5:48 AM Michael <notifications@github.com> wrote:\n\n> This is good feedback.
