Overview thumbnails on left, taskamanger on right

In the attached screenshot, you can see that that the desktop thumbnails blend into the background making them difficult to distinguish. There is a border and shadow around the Add Desktop button. For accessibility, it would be nice to add the same to the thumbnails. For comparison, I've included a screenshot of the shadows used in the task manager thumbnails which helps them to stand out from the background.

effects/overview: add subtle outline around non-active desktops

Otherwise they have no border and look kind of cut off.
