We tried to do something like this last year, where unfocussed windows
were 'greyed out' (contrast reduced).

It looked beautiful, and made it much more obvious which was the active
window, also reducing distraction of the eye.

I don't know what happened to this. Perhaps M. Ettrich knows, I think
I was talking to him about it.
