Have you considered moving all of the content from these windows into a
single window, hiding and showing groups rather than closing and opening
windows?
This would resolve the window hilite issue, and may lend itself to a
very contemporary look. iMovie and a great many other apps have
migrated from what had traditionally been multi-window layouts to single
windows with multiple panes.
