It probably is just aesthetics, but personally, I really think the old bar was 
more useable, since you could see it better. With the Plastik color scheme 
and my current monitor settings I can barely even see the thin 1px border 
currently around it... I need to actually crane my neck.

Maybe not use the Window background color, but to use a variant of it.. maybe 
darkened by 10%?
