I have the same question.

I would prefer more clarity to the used mode as well but I don't like
fiddling with background colors. Some interfaces are really terrible color
wise and I prefer the grey backgrounds of many programs: It's the easiest
and most comfortable for the eye. (I'm not a big fan of "skinning" either
for that matter). Next to that: It might influence color schemes/themes
within all kind of OSes. That's not nice behavior.
My preference would be to have a bold text (label) in the top right (or top
left) saying: *"mode: Beginner"* or whatever mode you are working in. This
text could also appear in the button bar (so much for "button" bar) if you
want to keep the screen as clean as possible.
