The patch

* Lighter title buttons to match the mockups
* Smooth title button separator
* Transparent window border, so the places where selections touch the borders don't look ugly

It would be cool to separate those cases splitted into three different patches, so it can be reviewed and applied separately. Thanks for your work!

Motivation for transparent border

Thanks for the patch. I've applied the two parts I really dig so far, the separator and the alpha based border.

The mockups aren't the law and usually mean an iteration step. I think the titlebar added contrast are better for now.
