Description

## What Happened
There's too little window titlebar contrast between active and inactive windows.

This is especially visible while using the Light theme, but the Dark theme also has a tad too low of a contrast.

Examples:

**Firefox: _Active_ window:**

**Firefox: _Inactive_ window:**

**Files: 2 windows side by side**

## Expected Behavior
Enough visible contrast to evaluate which window is currently active, if multitasking between windows of the same application. Inactive window font colour could be dimmed, too.

## Steps to Reproduce

1. Open an application, e.g. Files (native) or Firefox (GTK-based)
2. Open a new window from that app
3. Put windows side by side
4. Quickly decide which window is currently active
