 From a design view I think it is fine, is there a technical ALT+Tab  
event catching issue?

Examples:

1) you're looking at your Home favorites view
2) you hold ALT
3) all the icons switch to monochrome
4) you click an Activity icon
5) a new instance is started

Vs:

1) you're looking at your Home favorites view
2) you hold ALT
3) all the icons switch to monochrome
4) you tap Tab
5) the Frame appears and next icon is highlighted
6) you release ALT
7) the Frame indicated Activity switch into focus

Regards,
--Gary
