Well, it's certainly possible to do something like that in the client
styles, but that is a separate issue. If a window is switched from
System to Next all windows will switch. Just having the current one
switch is very non-intuitive and it's like that just because I haven't
changed it yet. That doesn't mean styles can't do the feature you
suggest, but they should all be the same style with different colors
then IMHO.
