Public bug reported:
I don't know what underlying mechanics are targeted by xfconf's
xsettings/Gtk/ColorScheme property, but GTK 3 applications no longer
care about it. In 13.04, I used to be able to change the colors of both
GTK 2 and GTK 3 themes all with just that property, but now only GTK 2
applications respect that property.
To reproduce:
On an XFCE system like Xubuntu, use xfce4-settings-editor to edit the
Gtk/ColorScheme property in the xsettings channel. Set it to something like
"bg_color:#ffffff;" (or any background color not used by your theme that you
will easily notice is different). Notice immediately that the background color
of your GTK 2 windows have changed. Now, open any GTK 3 application like
file-roller, gcalctool, or update-manager.
Expected Result:
The background color of the GTK 3 window has changed, and thus GTK 3
applications match GTK 2 applications.
What Happens Instead:
The ColorScheme property is ignored and the applications don't match.
