** Description changed:

  light-themes 0.1.6.6, Ubuntu 10.04
  light-themes 0.1.8.13, Ubuntu 11.04
  
  The active (focused) window and all other windows are displayed with
  - the same theme
  - nearly the same window borders
  - nearly the same drop shadows.
  
  This means that with several palettes, document windows, or non-
  overlapping terminals, it is not possible to tell which window the menu
  bar applies to, or which will respond to the keyboard.
  
  Ideally it should be possible to tell which window is focused, from
  those windows which are not focused.
