| akik | hi, how can i change the appearance of the mate theme so that the active window titlebar and inactive window titlebar would be different? | 07:13 |
|---|---|---|
| akik | when i change the mate theme, all windows just become the same | 07:19 |
| akik | and there's no difference in the active/inactive windows | 07:19 |
| alkisg | akik, are you using the default Yaru-MATE-light theme in 22.04? In that, the colors are different for me (active/inactive title bar) | 09:13 |
| alkisg | If you're using Yaru-MATE-light, and you still have issues, pastebin the output of: | 09:14 |
| alkisg | gsettings list-recursively org.mate.interface | nc termbin.com 9999 | 09:14 |
| akik | alkisg: yaru-mate-light is the same, just grey titlebars | 09:15 |
| alkisg | But with a different tone, right? | 09:16 |
| akik | alkisg: yes | 09:16 |
| alkisg | OK, and you want a bigger difference? | 09:16 |
| akik | alkisg: i want to easily see the active window | 09:16 |
| akik | alkisg: the difference in these grey colors is barely noticeable | 09:17 |
| akik | alkisg: here's gsettings output: https://termbin.com/08pg | 09:18 |
| alkisg | akik, if you right click on the desktop and go to the themes dialog, you can select a theme with a bigger difference | 09:18 |
| alkisg | E.g. the ones with "green" usually have a green active titlebar, and a grey inactive one | 09:19 |
| akik | alkisg: do you mean change desktop background? | 09:19 |
| alkisg | Yes, and then to the first tab of the dialog that will appear | 09:19 |
| akik | alkisg: i chose yaru-prussiangreen, but it's the same | 09:20 |
| alkisg | Choose another one then | 09:21 |
| alkisg | E.g. TraditionalGreen | 09:21 |
| alkisg | Or YaruGreen | 09:21 |
| akik | alkisg: i don't have those | 09:21 |
| alkisg | akik: are you on vanilla ubuntu mate 22.04? | 09:21 |
| akik | alkisg: yes | 09:22 |
| akik | maybe i need an additional package | 09:22 |
| alkisg | What's the output of this command? dpkg -S /usr/share/themes | 09:22 |
| akik | yaru-theme-unity, yaru-theme-gtk, marco-common, gnome-themes-extra-data, gnome-accessibility-themes, ubuntu-mate-themes, libgtk-3-common, libgtk2.0-common: /usr/share/themes | 09:23 |
| alkisg | Indeed you're missing mate-themes, do apt install it | 09:23 |
| akik | The following NEW packages will be installed: gtk2-engines mate-themes | 09:30 |
| akik | ok now i have new themes | 09:31 |
| akik | yes that fixed it! muchos gracias | 09:31 |
| akik | i wonder why i didn't have those packages | 09:31 |
| alkisg | 👍️ | 09:31 |
| alkisg | No idea my installation is very old, from november 2021 | 09:31 |
| akik | i only have ubuntu mate on this oldish laptop | 09:31 |
| akik | it's booting in uefi mode | 09:32 |
| alkisg | Vanilla 22.04, but started from alpha version | 09:32 |
| akik | alkisg: i have another computer with ubuntu mate 22.04 here. it doesn't either have the mate-themes package installed | 21:32 |
| akik | alkisg: both of these are straight 22.04 installs, so no upgrades | 21:34 |
| akik | and installing mate-themes brought back the themes i need | 21:34 |
| akik | so it's just the yaru themes that all don't different the active and inactive windows | 21:35 |
| akik | differentiate | 21:35 |
