Thanks for your replies, I see what you mean. I actually used polycolored
title bars myself at first, but realized I didn't have much use for it in
practice. I think this is just different use patterns. I tend to use the
shifted background menu, this gives me a list of all windows (including
completely covered ones). But then I have smarter window titles than the
standard image does. (I posted this with the blue look back in the day.)
