White address bar

In version 171, the address bar and buttons became white, so should it be or is it a bug?

@Mike, it's how it is supposed to look like with Windows style, since this is how Windows draws tabs...
It wasn't easy decision to make but that way tab bar doesn't look weird there (cut off white background of handle of active tab).

This is why native styles fail under that platform (except Windows 10, where by default everything is white). ;-)

From the screenshot, Mike is using Windows XP like me.
However, for me the sidebar is now white, and the address bar, but the active tab is still grey, not white as in the screenshot.

@DaveH, are you using Luna? I guess that you are using Classic style (9x / Me like).
I'm not sure if it makes sense to explore it more for XP, probably some custom style would make more sense for that version anyway.
