How would you do backgrounds in a lighter color, then? (The new default
background is pretty light anyway). Perhaps some raster in non-active
windows to darken them?

The latest version can also kill stuff before a colon, which helps shorten
"Netscape: Foobar" a bit.

Yes, for xterms one can always use that or screen. But what about
Netscape etc.?
Btw. I don't see myself using this even if some brave soul does implement
it, I'm perfectly happy with hiding windows etc. (Of course, a good
implementation might lead to a more readable Border class, which would be
nice ;)
