Presumably, they wanted to make the distinction imperceptible except
to users who really care. That single pixel is easy to see if you
look for it intentionally, but it's probably invisible if you don't
know about it. And even if you do know about it, it doesn't actually
catch your eye when you're looking at the desktop casually.
