DrawThemeWindowListHeader does not look right. It paints with sprite.
I want something similar to the ones used in Finder's list view or
databrowser.

Also DrawThemeWindowHeader does not draw border line. So the window
with sprite background + a window header is indistinguishable from
the window with sprite bkgnd.
