Description Hakon 2001-11-20 18:56:27 UTC 
If I find one theme that I like, but there is some little thing that I 
would like to change. Like the colours of the windows. It's so grey. That 
should be editable with RGB values.

Just doing some tagging of files I've already triaged. Filter on 'luis doing
GNOME2 work' to get rid of the spam.
Comment 2 Luis Villa 2002-04-10 02:52:16 UTC 
Updating all cc bugs that have the GNOME2 keyword set to the GNOME2.0 milestone,
to help jrb triage/prioritize cc bugs. Filter on 'luis doing GNOME2 work' to
ignore this spam.
Comment 3 Jonathan Blandford 2002-05-14 16:32:35 UTC 
Won't happen on the 2.0 timescale.  Maybe in the future we'll get it
for free with metatheme.
Comment 4 Dave Bordoley [Not Reading Bug Mail] 2002-10-25 19:38:15 UTC 
guys what do you think, should we have color selection in a new 
themer?
Comment 5 Anna Marie Dirks 2002-10-28 19:26:19 UTC 
Sure. :) The screenshot that Pier Luigi posted seemed (mostly)
right-on to me.

Colors are: 

1) Fun for people to play with
2) Harmless for people to play with
3) Very non-computer-jargony in their language and effect
4) An easy way for us (developers of Gnome) to help give our users a
sense of control over their desktop. This is the big bonus-- the more
confidence that people can build up by learning to use simple tools
like this one, the more empowered they are.

SPAM as discussed last night. Search for 'SPAM as discussed last night' to catch
these all and delete them. :)

Would the newly commited grdb capplet fix this?

Comment 11 Sebastien Bacher 2005-12-31 17:05:37 UTC 
That will probably be easy with GTK 2.10
Comment 12 Thomas Wood 2006-10-28 13:27:28 UTC 
I've started working on a UI for this in gnome-theme-manager. Setting target to GNOME 2.18.
Comment 13 André Klapper 2006-11-09 22:49:38 UTC 
Thomas:
To me this doesn't look like it should be on gnome-target.
gnome-target is meant to be used on bugs severe enough to possibly require delaying GNOME releases.  The target milestone is the field you want for bugs you'd like to remember to fix by a certain release. You can add target milestones for your product by clicking on the "Edit this product" link in the lower-right hand corner of the browse.cgi ("product overview") page.
See also the "Target Milestone" and "GNOME Target Milestone" sections of http://bugzilla.gnome.org/page.cgi?id=bug-status.html.

Thanks. :-)

There is now a Colors tab in the theme manager, so marking this bug as fixed.
