Description Michael Davies 2015-03-03 11:51:57 UTC 
I am wondering how difficult would it be to add in a setting to the icon-only Task Manager that would allow icon colour not to be shaded to grey when an application is minimized (see pictures at above url).

I know this is working as intended.  I am sure many people like know which windows are minimised, but for me - it just makes it hard to switch between applications using the mouse, because I can't see the icons very clearly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a few applications.
2. Minimize a few applications.
3. Try to identify which application is which in the Icons-only task manager.

This is particular difficult with the Breeze dark shell theme.
