xubuntu app switcher

[Simon Steinbeiß]

Hey there,

there is a bg-picture I've been using a lot (dark ones seem to work better as there are
black outlines you can hide with them), you can get it here:

The height of 195px seems to work fine (the app-switcher iconsize is hardcoded btw), the
width is only there for the repeatable pattern to work.

So check it out and I hope there'll be some bg-image in Karmic by default ;)

All the best,
Simon
