[07:13] <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?
[07:19] <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
[09:13] <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)
[09:14] <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
[09:15] <akik> alkisg: yaru-mate-light is the same, just grey titlebars
[09:16] <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
[09:17] <akik> alkisg: the difference in these grey colors is barely noticeable
[09:18] <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
[09:19] <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
[09:20] <akik> alkisg: i chose yaru-prussiangreen, but it's the same
[09:21] <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?
[09:22] <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
[09:23] <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
[09:30] <akik> The following NEW packages will be installed: gtk2-engines mate-themes
[09:31] <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
[09:32] <akik> it's booting in uefi mode 
[09:32] <alkisg> Vanilla 22.04, but started from alpha version
[21:32] <akik> alkisg: i have another computer with ubuntu mate 22.04 here. it doesn't either have the mate-themes package installed
[21:34] <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
[21:35] <akik> so it's just the yaru themes that all don't different the active and inactive windows
[21:35] <akik> differentiate
