A suggestion to make dark window edges on dark backgrounds more distinct:
I use a borderless theme with a shadow colour of #808080ff (mid grey). #404040ff (darker grey) works well too.
This makes dark edges on dark backgrounds appear to have a light glow, while light edges on light backgrounds appear to have a dark shadow.
You can change this in gconf-editor: /apps/compiz/plugins/decoration/allscreens/options/shadow_color in 10.10; I think it's /apps/compiz/plugins/decor/screen_0/options/shadow_color in natty.
(I also use ADD Helper to dim inactive windows to 85% brightness, which is why Banshee is dim in the screenshot.)
