How to Turn off Grey Overlay over Inactive Windows

Since Ubuntu 18.04, disabled windows, e.g. gedit if I switch to another window, have some grey overlay. If I install gnome-tweaks (like described in How to disable animations in Ubuntu 17.10 or 18.04?), I can disable this by setting the theme from Ambience to High Contrast (or High Contrast Inverse).



Since I like the normal Ambience, I would like to keep it, but I do not want gedit to be greyed out (it would be also nice if nothing would be greyed out). Is there a way to configure this?



According to https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1479239, I would assume that this can be done by sudo gedit /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gdm3.css and editing some part of the css style, but I have no clue which one. If this is the right way, what would be the property to edit?
