Hi what i realy wnat is a sutle way to set the difrence betwin active an 
inactive window. wthout losing the no windeck look.
Kwin aproch was the frist that we tried there, were aparently problems with 
it. Then Mwoehlke camed up with this plan that to me seems great couse it 
cnat give us lots more of potentiona in making the difrence betwin an active 
and inactive window using even more subtle difrences. 
If the flckering problem in onesty i think we should have a transitional efect 
for about 0.1 secs or less so we dont have flickering. but i like what we 
have so far it get the job done, thre is room for improvment but it works....
