Thunderbird is annoying me.

theweaselkingSo, in the last version or so of Thunderbird, there's a new behaviour.
When focus leaves the thunderbird window, the menus and buttons dim. They go grey.
This is annoying. I hate it. It's a sudden state change in a part of the screen I wasn't looking at *by definition*, drawing my attention towards the irrelevant bits and away from whatever I was doing to cause me to, y'know, SWITCH TO SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE MAIN THUNDERBIRD WINDOW.
So I looked through the settings, and don't see it. Googled the dimming thing, didn't find anything. Even checked the advanced config for words like "focus" and "dim". No luck.
Help me, lazyweb? How to I reverse the annoying and stupid UI change?
