Since the Aero theme doesn't seem to go well with any combination of background and window border colors, we should investigate what finetuning we can do.

The darker border around the content of the windows goes well with white/light background while on darker backgrounds the opposite effect would be nice (having a white/lighter border on top of it).

Decreasing the transparency of the white areas on top of Glass might be advisable as well.

This patch increases the opacity of the transparent parts of the Aero theme from 0.6 to 0.8 and limits the application of the text-shadow to the gray menu labels and the gray display name-placeholder only (before: all text, even black one, in the mainToolbox).

Things should be much better readable with this since the application background is lighter in general now.

Looks acceptable for 0.3, even this late, assuming you have tested this of course :).

Here's what it looks like with light glass color + background image, dark + dark and on Aero Basic.

Left column shows inactive windows, right one active ones.

Don't worry about the different look of the user icons on the screenshot, I was accidently hovering the icon on the inactive window.

Looks better to me too.
