Vista - Suggestion: Maximized Windows

About...

"Despite one of the complaints in Vista, when you maximize a application and
the taskbar and application border and title turn black for a reason that's
practical"

Sample shot:

I suggest a "VerticalGradient" over "Solid" black color. "VerticalGradient"
can be like an inverse of taskbar "VerticalGradient".

They should really correspond with the colour that Aero Glass is set to - so
if its set to red in the colour mixer, they should be a gradient of red, yep
I see your point ) Good idea!

I think it's fantastic, I've always prefered looking at photos on a PC with
a black background. It makes them stand out. So I imagine it will do the
same with applications. Although I can see how jarring effect from aero to
black might be off-putting.
