(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 _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
