I use the keyboard in FC often, but currently it's not easy to see if the FC window is active or not, so sometime I start to type, use the shortcuts and suddenly I see the other window is active and I broke something it the other program...

...Therefore I think the feature for identification if the FC window is active or inactive would be very useful. There are several possibilities (these are for NC mode):

1. Add the custom colors for panel background, for one or both panels, if FC is inactive.
2. The same as #1 for the "focused item active list" color.
3. Use the color for inactive panel also for active panel, only if FC is inactive (doesn't require any option).
4. Use the color from "focused item inactive list" also for "focused item active list", only if FC is inactive (doesn't require any option).

I like the #3 and #4, but perhaps some users would not like it - what do you think? Or do you have the other idea how to see if the FC window is active or inactive?

Indeed it's kind of hard to identify if FC is the active window.
However, I got accustomed to looking for the glowing taskbar button (win7), so it's not a real problem for me.

I have many windows opened, some are always on top, so sometime I can't see the FC title bar and I like the current color I use.

No, I was talking about the taskbar button, not the titlebar.

Ah, but I have also taskbar auto-hidden.
