That actually does look better. Or more "modern", at least.
Another thing I would suggest -- is use lighter background for the
currently selected window (compared to the unselected). That is, I'd
swap the faces in the two statements above.
Emacs currently defaults to the light-background theme and uses a darker
background in the mode-line of the current window. That makes is lower
contrast than the non-selected ones. It feels counter-productive and
seems to go against the contemporary practice in this area.
