Thanks zsolt.ruszinyák for your appreciation, however I can agree with MPT about the fact that sliding can cause clicking over the adjacent indicators harder and time-consuming (but not as much going over an indicator - click and look for the needed information).

However, another idea that can be considered in this case is not to slide, but to use the Unity's PanelView to show the indicator's "text". I mean, when overing or clicking over an indicator the Unity Window title text is replaced with the indicator text. This can also work with the keyboard selection so could improve the accessibility too.

In fact I think that when you're over an indicator or working with it, your attention is focused just on it and so showing the mapped window title is not needed or useful at all (as it really is in background).
