I think this would improve the usability of the default button order.
The colour used for the text colour is white, so having white buttons
makes it a lot easier to find a contrasting highlight colour. It should
also make it a bit more obvious that it is a close button rather than a
menu button :)
Also, the unfocused window borders in Crux look a bit weird for dark
backgrounds. I modified the unfocused window borders to be a bit darker:

This is probably not as useful for people with light backgrounds though :)
James.
I don't like it when the buttons have the same color as the title. It
makes it hard to distinguish the buttons from the title, and the title
from the buttons.
Otherwise, I think that's a good idea. What if the buttons had grey
background and black foreground (just like buttons on the right side of
the titlebar)?
