I see what you mean partially, as the application icons have a sort of "fade" to them which makes it harder to spot them quickly. However in general once you get used to a something you prefer more such as AWN, it is going to be harder going back. Have you tried enabling compositing in metacity?

2008-09-13 21:15:21 Michael Rooney description I was forced to stop using AWN because of a bug when I have compositioning enabled. I was struck by how hard it was to distinguish between the different applications I had running. I found that many times when switching between apps, it took me many seconds to recognize the right app. When not using AWN most icons just are grey. I'm attaching a screenshot of "bottom panel" with AWN and a normal gnome panel. I was forced to stop using AWN because of a bug when I have compositing enabled.
