Overlapping windows

Using colors schemes like breath dark, the window and shadow color are almost identical, and as there is no clear indication of border, it's really difficult to distinguish overlapping windows.

A solution could be reducing the shadow strengh and use #000 color, or if there is a necessity to use a lighter shadow, derive it's color from color scheme.

Yeah, that's actually sort of a touch problem to solve unless you want different shadows for Breeze light vs Breeze dark. Which, maybe we should have, for exactly this reason.
