I think the motive was good: make it more discoverable.
but those 2 seconds go extremely fast...
i know where it is and even i miss it (yes even by staring at it).
the problem is when a window opens people focus their eyes on the window and not the top bar. When they focus the top bar the 2 seconds already passed....
so a few solutions might be:
-increase the second amount.
-visible again for a couple of seconds when you restore a window.
or
-confirm the user knows where it is, by keeping it visible for a while or till the first time the user hovers on it.
