And ls ~/cinnamox-gtk-theme/colors

I can't reproduce this so can only guess your theme template is named something different from Yoss-theme - maybe yoss-theme?

NO I checked that before posting,it will be to lame :) I am puzzled, look output when I do same command just with template theme. -------------------------- yoss@gray:~$ ~/cinnamox-gtk-theme/change_color.sh ~/cinnamox-gtk-theme/colors/theme_template rm: cannot remove '/home/yoss/.themes/cinnamox-theme_template': No such file or directory building theme at /home/yoss/.themes/cinnamox-theme_template rm -rf "gtk-3.0/dist" ----------------------------------------- And then it create theme in .theme directory. So now it works and I made first my theme with your huge support. Thank's man you are doing nice job. -- hahlic <hahlic@gmail.com>

After two day of working on my theme, I can't find a way to make different color for title bar. There is small differences between front and back program windows title bar colors.
As I know it should be in metacity1/metacity-theme-2.xml
<!-- ::: CONSTANTS ::: --> <constant name="C_titlebar_focused" value="#FF4243" /> <constant name="C_titlebar_unfocused" value="#A09C9C" /> <constant name="C_border_focused" value="#2AA5A5" /> <constant name="C_border_unfocused" value="#000000" />
But that doesn't change nothing.
Any suggestions?

[smurphos]

If you are using Cinnamon it's metacity-theme-3.xml that you need to edit manually - metacity-theme-2.xml is so the themes will work in the Mate desktop environment.

Also some apps use a header bar rather than a title bar - that's done in the GTK3 css.

As written the metacity themes are supposed to use colors derived from the GTK3 theme.

[hahlic]

OK I understand that, but in metacity-theme-3.xml it points for changing colors to GTK.

<constant name="C_titlebar_active_start" value="shade/gtk:custom(theme_selected_bg_color,gtk:bg[SELECTED])/1.25" />
<constant name="C_titlebar_active_end" value="shade/gtk:custom(theme_selected_bg_color,gtk:bg[SELECTED])/0.85" />
<constant name="C_titlebar_inactive_start" value="shade/gtk:custom(theme_bg_color,gtk:bg[NORMAL])/1.1" />
<constant name="C_titlebar_inactive_end" value="shade/gtk:custom(theme_bg_color,gtk:bg[NORMAL])/0.9" />`

Can you point where in gtk (2 or3) or I am completely wrong.

[smurphos]

@hahlic apologies for the very delayed response.

You are looking in the right place - you can just replace the gtk references with hard coded colors in the snippet you posted above.
