Follow-up Comment #28, bug #53276 (project octave):

I'm just about to create an upgraded changeset.  If you describe the
highlighting issue, maybe I can fix it.  I'm not seeing a difference in
highlighting between the tip and the changeset, oh wait... OK, there's a
Preferences setting I don't have activated.  I should be able to put this back
in with CSS.

The titlebar highlighting is a good idea, but I don't find it a pleasant
style/pattern.  I don't like the gradient pattern for the focused subpanel. 
(See the attached screenshot.)  To me, that gradient gives it the appearance
of a system window which happens to be sitting on top of the Octave GUI.  And
the default of white for the non-active window makes that title bar look like
the active one, or more like a data entry widget.

I would think that the nicest option would be to have non-active titlebar be
transparent and the active titlebar be the default highlight color.  (Sort of
like when Rik pointed out the peculiar highlight color for Variable Editor
when I had chosen a particular color sky-blue, out of the blue, ha-ha.)  Maybe
that could be made the default if integrating such options into Preferences is
too difficult.  What are your thoughts?

I'll add the custom titlebar colors back in just as they currently are, and
then maybe we could open another bug/patch entry for alternatives.
