I don't like it when the buttons have the same color as the title.  It 
makes it hard to distinguish the buttons from the title, and the title 
from the buttons.

Otherwise, I think that's a good idea.  What if the buttons had grey 
background and black foreground (just like buttons on the right side of 
the titlebar)?
