Description Anderson Kaiser 2016-03-18 14:40:10 UTC
Description of problem:

Customer is looking for a way to change the Window's Title Bar Color in Gnome-3 (Classic).

We already managed how to change the color scheme in Panel Bars. We changed it though the files

/usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-shell.css
and
/usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome-classic.css

# panel {
.
.
.
}

But this seems to not be enough and customer wants to change the Window Title Bar Color. For instance when he opens a Terminal, or Firefox, he would like to see the Title Bar in another color.

I have gone through dconf-editor (gconf-editor as well), gnome-tweak-tool but none worked as expected.

Under /usr/share/themes there is a lot of directories

[...]
Adwaita       Atlanta  Crux     Emacs  HighContrast  Raleigh
AgingGorilla  Bright   Default  Esco   Metabox       Simple

[...]

But even changing the gtk-3.0 and gtk-2.0 (gtkrc) color schema and files we had no lucky. 

How can the Window title bar color be changed through files and configuration? Is there any specific theme option to change it?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gnome-shell-3.14.4-37.el7.x86_64
gnome-themes-standard-3.14.2.2-2.el7.x86_64
adwaita-gtk2-theme-3.14.2.2-2.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to change theme colors using any method 
2. dconf-editor
3.

Actual results:

Panel colors are able to be changed but Window Title color not.

Expected results:

Customer would like to be able to change the Title Bar Color

When Red Hat shipped 7.7 on Aug 6, 2019 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 entered Maintenance Support 1 Phase.

    https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata#Maintenance_Support_1_Phase

That means only "Critical and Important Security errata advisories (RHSAs) and Urgent Priority Bug Fix errata advisories (RHBAs) may be released". This BZ does not appear to meet Maintenance Support 1 Phase criteria so is being closed WONTFIX. If this is critical for your environment please open a case in the Red Hat Customer Portal, https://access.redhat.com, provide a thorough business justification and ask that the BZ be re-opened for consideration in the next minor release.
