changing the active window title bar color

[Josh Stratton]

I didn't see any images related to the active window, so I assume that's
just not configurable.  I updated the window to be slightly
transparent--still legible, but provides a bit of a hint.  It's just not as
pronounced as I like it to be.  Thanks, guys.
