new artwork difficult to discern active window

2010-04-27 Thread Paul S
Under the old clearlooks, the active window had a different titlebar color than inactive windows. As much as I like the new color combo in lucid, it's difficult to use it because everything is too similar between inactive and active windows. I can't tell you how many times I've already closed t
