In fact, I do like really slightly rounded corners, not totally sharp. 
On the image I uploaded, the rounding is only 2 pixels. Could it be 
possible to try that?

Also, it would be nice to:
    - try windows with no border (only a thin black line, like on the 
screenshot), only the top bar;
    - narrow the top bar of windows, which is currently a bit too large 
(to my liking);
    - try using something a bit darker, with more contrast in the 
gradient for windows and taskbar  - by the way, is there gradient in the 
taskbar?
    - maybe try other fonts? I know that's a bit adventurous, but why not?

I added shadow under the active window on the screenshot. I think that 
could be enough to distinguish them from inactive ones.

I like the gray menu bar in windows, but maybe it would be worth trying 
other things. I'll test that a soon as possible.

Many thanks for your work Anton,
Cheers,

François
