-> in the mockup by our dear artist, he changes only the
windowdecoration's buttons. If he would add text, that would change
too. This is exactly what many themes do, so it's not weird or
something... but yes, it's rather subtle. Pinheiro, have you seen how
Ubuntu does it?

Pity this doesn't fit with the way our current theme looks...

Anyway.

I'm not that opposed to what happens in my current build: the text and
widgets become more gray, but the background stays the same.
- the window doesn't flash
- the window is still readable
- yet it is clear which window is active and which is not

Now, who can tell me what is wrong with that?
