There are still some pixels out of place and tweaks need done to this but I think it's at a point that it's worth sharing. Feel free to let me know your thoughts or if you have some tweaks to add.

This color sceme still has the "Dazzle" look but returns to a lot of the white-on-dark-background mode of the classic for most floating windows.  In the process I discovered the wonders of transparency settings - having a big window blocking my view has always been one of my deep seated peves, appearently.  Active windows are semitransparent, inactive windows almost completely so.  Some people might have a problem with that but it makes Dazzle much more useable for me.
