[ubuntu-art] Ubuntu Mockup

[xl cheese]

You can make prelights for inactive windows so there's no extra click involved.
 
I think having the plain "_ O X" without any button borders except for prelights looks nice and clean.  I did that in this theme:
http://www.gnome-look.org/CONTENT/content-pre1/71800-1.jpg
 
I may play with the idea of not having any visible metacity buttons until a mouse over and see how it feels in a real theme.
