I can't really see if you DID change the background, but if you did, I
really object to that. That's exactly what everyone here hates so
much, as it makes the whole window seem to flash. No matter how subtle
it is (unless it's so subtle you really can't see it, in which case it
makes no sense).

You could dull some colourful things like the scrollbars and some
other widgets, maybe change the text a little. But NOT the background,
really. Don't do that. Just changing the windowdecoration like you did
is of course acceptable, I'm just not sure if that's enough visual
difference between active and inactive. It IS the least controversial
thing to do, though.
