Description
Issue
In Mint-Y non active applications that are open (I mean, all open applications but the current one being used) have the same lower border highlight as the active window on the panel. This can be somewhat distracting due to the fact that Mint-Y now uses more vibrant colors that are more noticeable.
As a brief example, I have below two images, one of the Mint-Y-Dark-Blue theme and another similar theme:
-
Mint-Y-Dark-Blue
-
A similar theme with a different highlighting
Proposed Solution
A more neutral highlight for non-active open windows (like the one in 2. does) could be more adequate.

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by locating the Mint-Y panel theme styles and the rules that set the lower border for active and non-active open applications. Done means non-active open windows use a more neutral highlight while the active window retains its distinct highlight, matching the requested contrast in the examples.
