Style Title Bar only darkens title bar

Back in Issue #3 (https://github.com/Monokai/monokai-pro-sublime-text/issues/3) the request was to create a unified look on the title bar; and ultimately this was supposed to have become an option with "monokai_pro_style_title_bar: true". However for me it simply darkens the title bar. Shouldn't this change the color of the title bar to match the background so it blends in?

As a note: I understand I can use "monokai_pro_minimal"; however that also changes the sidebar background. I'm trying to find a way to blend the title bar with the main background but leave the sidebar separate for ease of visual difference.

I've tried it before but I don't think it looks nice. It does blend the editor background with the title bar, but the division between the sidebar and the editor would then feel out of place. It needs some visual support from the header for it to have a nice division. I think it does work when everything has the same background color, that's why the minimal setting is like that.

Isn't the point of the sidebar to be out of place from the primary editor? That way you're able to identify the end of the sidebar and the beginning of the editor?

My $0.02 is that for the Minimal option the sidebar maintain a darker background (or at least an option exist to maintain the darker background) so as to keep a boundary.
