Bug Description
In a recent version of Unity, a title bar and a close button were added to windows when they are moused over in expo. This was a much needed and appreciated feature, however, the title/close bar covers the top of the window, making it difficult to identify windows, particularly for applications with tabs (see attached screenshot).
To reproduce:
Open multiple windows of an application which uses tabs (Firefox or Chrome/Chromium are good examples)
Click the applications launcher icon to twice to activate expo.
Mouse over one of the windows, and watch the tabs get covered.
Especially bad is that the bar does not just stay there while the mouse is over the window, it stays there until you have moused over another window.
The correct behavior should be that the title/close bar are placed above the window, so that they do not cover it at all. At the very least, the bar should go away when you mouse off the window (it is confusing to see the bar appear when you mouse over, realize you need it to disappear to see the top of the window, and not have it go away when you mouse off the window).

fitoschido, what do you need from me to mark this as complete? You've tagged it with needs-design, but I'm not sure what you mean by that.
