The titlebar colors of active and inactive windows are the same which

Hello Bret!


1. The Ubuntu users mailing list is at
https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users
which may be more useful for you.

Thank you, I'll go there if I don't find any help here.

2. In what applications are you noticing this, and,


Any applications using standard decorations (Firefox, MATE Terminal,
Google Chrome etc).

what interface are you using?

Sorry, I did not get the question.


I suppose that, by context, rather than the word "interface", i should have used the word "theme".


I have been using UbuntuMATE for a decade or so, and, I am running
22.04.1 on this computer (I rub 16.0.4.7 on another), and, I do not see
the problem that you are observing.

In the Control Center, go to Look and Feel -> Appearance.

I use the Theme named "TraditionalOk", with the panel at the bottom of
the screen, and it is the most like MS Windows 95, and, gives my the
interface that I prefer.

I don't have any "TraditionalOk" theme there, just countless variants of the
Yaru-* themes. How did you add the "TraditionalOk" theme? Is it in
some package?



I have been using this them,e for so many years, that I have forgotten whether it came as a default theme that was available, or, whether I added it.

However, In the Appearance window, in the Themes tab, where I have the theme displayed, at the bottom left corner, is "Get more themes online". Clicking that, opens a web page, in the default web browser, at
https://mate-desktop.org/themes/
and selecting
"GTK 2.x themes"
...
Unfortunately, that is not searchable, a search cannot be performed, for a theme name.

After going through about 40 screens, and not finding it, by doing a search, using the "site=" to search that site, I found it, not as a mate theme, but as a gnome (from gnome2, I assume, which mate is supposed to emulate) theme;
https://www.gnome-look.org/p/1407000
the variant that I use, is TraditionalOkBrave (the blue and grey one).

I think, in resembling the MS Windows 95 interface, it also resembles the fvwm interface, but, it is decades since I used the fvwm interface.

I hope that this helps.
