Description
With the change to combined themes for window titles/borders and rest of the window, it is no longer possible to distinguish between the titlebar and rest of window, e.g. menu items.
The "high forehead" look of when there is no separation between the two might look nice...
(personally i find it really ugly on light themes, but that's besides the point)
But being unable to distinguish these areas is really unhelpful. They respond very differently to double, middle and tight clicks, so why they should look the same is really puzzling.

Start by inspecting the Mint-X and Mint-Y theme definitions and reproduce the visual contrast between the titlebar and the rest of the window. Identify how the combined title and window styling is applied, then verify that the two areas are visibly distinguishable while retaining the existing theme appearance.
