Adjusting existing global theme to customize colors, but window titlebar background and text won't change color, even with editing the .color file

Hi all,

I am a fan of the Ferno global theme, but I wanted mine to be more blue than green. I was able to successfully change all of the colors, except that the titlebar background color and font color persist. Colors in System Settings shows the colors I want, but the reality hasn’t changed. Would someone please help me?

Here is the .color file I adjusted:

[ColorEffects:Disabled]
Color=23,23,23
ColorAmount=0
ColorEffect=0
ContrastAmount=0.65
ContrastEffect=1
IntensityAmount=0.1
IntensityEffect=2

As you can see here, the window titlebar has not changed even though the setting claims it has.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Looks like that theme uses an aurorae titlebar.

Edit: I just checked. So yeah, it uses an aurorae theme. You either change the aurorae or you use a non-aurorae window decoration.

Here’s what your colors would look like with default breeze application and window decoration.

Hey, @dzon. Sorry I never responded. Things got busy and I totally forgot about this thread. Thank you so much for your solution. It was spot on!
