Re: Changing the color of window bars



(sorry for starting a new thread, but for some reasons I'm not
understanding, I did not receive my own email, neither Jasper's reply,
which I read in the archives)

Thanks Jasper for the prompt answer. The bad news is that I was not
really able to do what you suggest: I edited
/usr/share/themes/Adwaita/metacity-1/metacity-theme-3.xml and changed
the following:

<draw_ops name="titlebar_fill_focused">
        <gradient type="vertical" x="0" y="0" width="width" height="height">
        <color
value="gtk:custom(wm_bg_a,blend/gtk:bg[NORMAL]/gtk:base[NORMAL]/0.4)" />
        <color value="gtk:custom(wm_bg_b,gtk:bg[NORMAL])" />
        </gradient>
</draw_ops>

to:

<draw_ops name="titlebar_fill_focused">
        <gradient type="vertical" x="0" y="0" width="width" height="height">
                <color value="gtk:custom(wm_bg_a,#ff0000)" />
                <color value="gtk:custom(wm_bg_b,#ff0000)" />
        </gradient>
</draw_ops>

and restarted, but apparently nothing changed, so maybe I misunderstood
your suggestion.

The good news is that what I had mistakenly considered a design choice
due to the update was instead a temporary misbehaviour, and after
restarting, indeed while the "Adwaita" remained gray, the "Metabox"
theme and others show the active window bar in blue. I expect this to be
the behaviour in 3.10 too...

So thanks again and sorry for the noise,

Pietro
