> If we changed the background to gray, that would make the selected app *less* distinct, no? And then we'd have to change the background color for open and not minimized apps, to avoid them both have a very similar if not identical appearance.

I think the problem is that the grey background for opened apps and the blue
background for the focused app have a similar light, hence it is difficult to
decipher them quickly.

My suggestion would be to use something darker for the focused app.
The problem to use a darker blue is that many app have blue in their icon, so
that might be confusing.
So my suggestion was to use a darker grey.

An alternative would be to color only the top bar of the area in, e.g., dark
blue, for the focused app.

I am not sure that would be a solution, but if there is an easy way to try a
different color for the background or top bar of the focused app, I am willing
to do the test.
