Nice work, this new version begins to have a nice look! Just an idea: do you think it would be possible to put a shadow only under the active window? That would make it really different from the others, "on top" of everything (like when you pick a paper among a big bunch of papers on your desk, and lift it up to read it). I don't like the color for the selected element in the menu - a lil' too pink for me - but I don't have any other idea yet... Also, I find the top bar merged with the menubar on inactive windows quite classy. Do you think we could give it a try for active windows? And then we could try making inactive windows as "neutral" as possible -- i.e. like they didn't have any volume -- with the menubar, the topbar and the rest of the window all attached together with the same color (a bit like on the mockup I made, but with the menubar in addition). To go into details, it could also be nice to make the thin line around inactive windows a little less black, more gray. That's all for the moment!
