I also loved this feature. It's not only cosmetic, as you can use it to
view more title bars if many windows are stacked over another, and you can
actually see the title bars, and use them for switching these windows
fast. I often use this with many edit windows for editing sources. I place
them one over the other and move the title bars, so to see them all at the
same time. So I don's have to remeber were all the other files were, that
I was editing ;)

I even implemented it for the B2 theme in KDE in the beginning of the
year, and sent the sources to mosfet for inclusion. If people are
interested I can review them for the new B2 sources and post them here.


Ciao,
Michael.
