I think part of the reason the NFR you posted looks good is because it's got graphics on it to break up the surfaces. Without graphics, I think it looks better w/the triangle painted black.

Paint the faux window..... everyone is doing it 
Seriously though, I had the same debate as you..... and I had 7 months to think about it while I waited for the top to arrive! I ended up painting the faux window as you can see below. But here's something you may consider: I contemplated having the top painted solid and if I didn't like it I would go have a black vinyl made to replicate the faux window. That way you could add/remove it as you please. If in the end you decide you like the faux window better you could always go back and have it painted on.
