Actually, I wanted to suggest this same thing. Highlighting the current desktop is a great idea. Approving for the public.

Please read my idea #27016 and consider that if the desktops are instantly available, with the current one in use a different colour to the rest, this would make life easier.

I still don't know why Unity "hides" these extra desktops instead of having these visible at the top of the screen, which would show users which desktop they are in and encourage users to make more space available on smaller screens e.g. netbooks with lots of programs open.

The launcher icon is useful only if you have a 2x2 desktop setup. It is not useful for the cube or for other arrangements, e.g. 3x4.
