Window titles in expo should not cover window

fitoschido, what do you need from me to mark this as complete? You've tagged it with needs-design, but I'm not sure what you mean by that.

Christopher, don't worry about the incomplete status. It is basically marked incomplete until we receive feedback from the design team (Ayatana Team).

This is actually a feature, not to make the windows to resize when highlighted (since they show the real-sized decoration only on mouse over).
Design mockups respect this behavior in fact, see: http://ubuntuone.com/7B8ot1UA2gPKm9q8F0K198 [1]

Marco,

It seems to me that it being the intended behavior doesn't make it necessarily the correct behavior. The spread mode is intended to make it easy to switch between windows, correct? If part of the window is covered, and that makes it less easy to distinguish windows, isn't that a valid problem? Also, perhaps it should have been filed separately, but I still contend that it is confusing to have the bar appear when you mouse over a window, but not disappear when you mouse off of it - you must mouse over a different window to get the bar to go away. These two things together make what is supposed to be a convenience feature less convenient to use, which is why I think this is something that needs to be modified.

Chris

I see your point, but I also see the fact that the windows shouldn't be resized and moving around when overing them during the spread, so I see why this decision was taken at design level.

Feel free to ping JohnLea about this though, he's the one he could reconsider this decision from a design point of view.
On unity side, however, this is considered "fixed" for now.
