In Safari, I'd come to the conclusion that the window frame "tint" was an indication of whether you were in a private session or a non-private one, but after some time realised that the "tint" was merely an effect of what colour the content of the web page happened to be that had been scrolled up behind the title bar. A small thing, but nevertheless misleading.

The whole idea should be canned before it becomes more pervasive. It's already a nuisance and causes numerous graphics glitches (e.g weird black outlines around a non-active progress bar when on a vibrant background). Developers have better things to worry about.
The problem is that when these issues were reported (*) just after the
first Yosemite seed, the Radar tickets were quickly closed as "Behaves
as expected".

previous OS X SDKs.
