Ok, but currently the windows and the taskbar do not seem to be part of 
a whole. They look too different to have a nice visual effect. And it is 
true that the taskbar has more functionalities than a menubar, but the 
"menu part" of the taskbar should certainly have the same look as a menubar.

You are right. We can try different things, it was just a proposition.

I'll do that asap.
