+1. The contrast is really poor. This is why I like the Emacs default:
the difference in the background colour combined with the different box
style makes it easy to find the active window. Moreover, the padding
around the mode-line is excessive and with the scroll-bar turned on, it
looks funny.

I'd say it is very important. At least for those who use the default
theme primarily.
[ Unfortunately, most "modern" styles tend to sacrifice accessibility
for eye-candy. ]
