Well, I must be slow ...
For ozone, everything was blue (title bar sides and bottom).
I kept the sides all blue (4px) when using default border, and kept the 
same width for top and bottom, leaving the rest "window-color" except 
for the title tab. One can darken, or make shadow like one pixel on such 
4px sides, for all border sizes >= normal, but what else ?
For Large borders and above, the colored side _is_ less than the total 
border.

But maybe a screenshot or mockup (I'm slow with Ascii too) would make me 
think faster !
