            Bug ID: 477770
           Summary: Applying a Global Theme should not affect the task
                    switcher

  Target Milestone: ---

This is rather a suggestion.

I think that it's quite counter-intuitive that applying a Global Theme, which
is under the "Appearance" module, could have effects that extend beyond what is
configurable within that module.

Task switcher is part of "Window Management", and (I can only assume here,
based on my own preference) users typically want to set and forget the task
switcher layout, but maybe change theme or colors or icons or cursors, from
time to time.

It makes sense then to group those items inside a Global Theme to enable them
all with one action, but since the Task switcher is by your own admission
something not related to Appeareance, I think that this one should not be
affected.

A way to work around this could be to consider it part of the Desktop layout
(while it's technically not, I'd argue that it's got more in common with widget
and panels, than with colors, icons and cursors...).
