OK, here are links to two more problems -<br>
<br>
#1 [easy] - on Shiki-colors the title bars on inactive windows are too<br>
transparent so its' difficult to see where to grab. This is especially<br>
challenging in gimp where you have many open windows.<br>

<br>
#2 [hard] - on many themes, for example Shiki is shown, its hard to<br>
tell where you can grab the window. Because there's no difference<br>
between what we know is the title bar and empty toolbar/menu bar space<br>
below it it's easy to miss the title bar and grab empty space.<br>

<br>
#2 is going to be a real challenge for dark themes but is pretty<br>
important. The fact that there's no visible diff between the title bar<br>
and the menu is cool looking because its so original. Maybe the reason<br>
its original is because no one has conquered the usability problem.<br>
:-( Before Hardy I think there was a patch that allowed us to have<br>
this capability without messing up the look by making some areas<br>
appear "grabbable." Anyone else remember this and know what happened?<br>
If not, then we may need to consider adding a bit of texture so that<br>
the title bar looks like something you can grab and the menu bar<br>
doesn't.</blockquote><div><br>Perhaps a mild lighter gray separation line on mouseover may help the #2 usability issue.<br></div></div></div>
