so I thought I was close finding these: http://worldofgnome.org/how-to-hack-gnomes-adwaita-gtk-theme/ http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1479239 and I can do things like make everything red as described in the example. But nothing that I could find lets me set just the color of the focused window titlebar. Some observations about my experience trying to do this: * Why does gnome use ~/.local and ~/.config? They think they the center of my fcking universe that they take these generic names? * How do I know if I want ~/.local or ~/.config? Lots of functional overlap to look at the files * So I make my own myAdwaita theme as described. Now do I want to change things in metacity-1 or gtk-3.0? They seem to overlap. But metacity-1 doesn't seem to have any effect, so I guess it's not that * in metacity-1 dir, why do we have both metacity-theme-2.xml and metacity-theme-3.xml? Which do I want? They don't describe themselves. No other files in ~/.local or ~/.config refers to either of them. * gnome-shell --replace causes most of my desktop to crash after a few times, without having made any changes other than going to red and back as described in the example. Hard reboot required. Guess I'll be logout/login between every change then Folks, this is BS. Wanting to be able to tell which window is focused without searching for a cursor (which is what I currently end up doing) is not too much to ask. Either stop prioritizing prettyness over usability or give users some sane way to change settings. If you're going to stick things in ~/.dotfiles make them sane and self-describing. I'm starting to get the same feeling from gnome that I do from systemd. You post to a list about with an obvious deficiency or advice and get... nothing. I mean I might be in favor of systemd if the devels appeared to care even slightly about input but they just ignore it _______________________________________________ gnome-list mailing list gnome-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-list
