Please make a screenshot with a second app in the taskbar, just to see
if inactive window taskbar-things and title bars are readable.
I don't like the rings for minimise/maximise/close, it looks like a bad
osx-copy (without even the colours, therefor bad, but I don't like the
osx-way either).
Else, it doesn't look bad, just wondering how it looks here, at half
(or quarter, depending on how you see it) the size of your screenshot.
