Description bi2h5da02 2008-09-29 14:16:56 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Sometimes changing themes in gnome-appearance-properties does not change all the theme colors.

I first noticed this when changing between themes too quickly. The title bar color would get stuck, and if I changed themes back and forth slowly it would usually fix it and go back to default for that theme.

Then it got stuck more persistently, and I figured out I had to change to Crux and then back in order to get the color unstuck.

Now it's just stuck, and nothing I do can change the title bar color from orange. I tried:

* Changing themes a lot. All themes have orange title bar even though selection color is different,
* Changing colors in color tab
* Changing window borders in Window border tab (some window borders ignore Gnome colors, but this doesn't count)
* Changing GTK engines
* Log out
* Reboot
* Deleting ~/.gnome2/session

The only thing I can definitely say gets stuck is the title bar color. I think I have seen other colors get stuck, too, but not sure.

Right now, if I change to a theme and then quickly change to the Gray theme before it gets a chance to finish theming, the Gray theme will have the other theme's default title bar color half of the time. This should not happen. If I change to Darklooks and then quickly to Gray, the Gray title bar will be black. If I change to Crux and then quickly to Gray, the Gray title bar will be purple.

If I switch to Compiz, it uses the correct colors for each theme, but when I switch back to non-Compiz it's still stuck at orange for every theme except the ones like Ubuntu Studio that override colors.

I ran from command line and see no errors.

If I change the theme, the title bar colors do not change, but if I log out and log back in, they do change to the correct values for that theme.

If I change the title bar colors in gnome-color-chooser and press Apply, they do not change, though the inner(?) window borders and button hover colors do. If I log out and log back in, they are then changed in agreement with gnome-color-chooser.

Does this happen every time?
