GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 554302
Switching between themes in gnome-appearance-properties results in colors getting stuck
Last modified: 2009-09-09 13:52:01 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. Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time?
