Hello, I'm using Gnome Shell 3.3.90 on Ubuntu with the Adwaita theme and I've noticed that when a window loses focus, its widgets are grayed-out, like if they were disabled (though they're not disabled). Personally, I find it annoying because this makes the widgets harder to read. Also, progress bars are very very difficult to interpret: see the attached screenshot of Transmission for a clear example. Previously, I used Activities->Windows very often. From there, I could check the status of multiple windows at once, just pressing the Super key. Now I can't do it anymore because windows are mostly unreadable and I am forced to focus each window whenever I need to check it. Therefore I'm wondering: what is the rationale behind this behavior? Do you consider it should be enabled by default? Thanks, Andrea C.
