  Uhm, what if we drew the blue background for the active app? That is what Windows does as well, and I think it makes sense. When you open a widget, the window will lose focus, so there will never be two elements with blue background in the panel. Hover is still clearly visible. See:

  At this point open-but-inactive applications could be made more visible by adding a gray background as transparent as the blue on.

  I think that this last one looks much prettier and usable, but that's just an idea I only wanted to try, feel free to tell me that's not a good idea. Also, changing the background colors there could also be done regardless of the line thickness. I just felt like it was much prettier.
