On the final version of Windows 8, the transparency effects in Aero
are going to be turned off entirely it seems. Office 2012 already
dropped the transparent frame entirely, and Visual Studio 2012 also
has a custom window frame. If we can implement a "soft" and
Metro-influenced look for the Windows version, we might have a good
chance.

Hi Astron,

I've taken a look at it, and right now, it seems, the menu text is

Unfortunately not that trivial :-(  Needs a hack, but luckily, it is
documented, so I know what to do.

However, it is really bad timing now since a few days ago it turned
out that MS will be abandoning Aero with Windows 8 [4]. They even go
so far as to call it looking "dated and cheesy" (click through to the
MSDN source).

No problem, we can introduce one more theme for Windows 8, that's not a
big issue to present something else on various Windows versions [at
least so far it hasn't been ;-)]

Now, how about we just use some gradient-from-the-bottom look, like MS
Office does:

?
(Trying to imitate it, I noticed it's actually surprisingly hard to do, though.)

Done now:

Thank you,
