Comment 8 for bug 147040

Hi,

In Ubuntu 6.06 and in 7.04 I remember that gnome-appearance-properties did work like a charm. As soon as one did change the color it had immediate effect in all applications, selected items and window borders. Fast and stable. Reliable.

But in 7.10 and now in 8.04 it does not work so well, regarding that it is not so fast and also it does not change the color of the window borders, even if one closes and starts again the different windows. Also, the selected text within a window (in Firefox or in Gedit, as 2 examples), it also does not change to the new color.

I've found out that for the new color to be reflected in the windows border one has to close and re-start the gnome-appearance-properties application (it does not work to close and start other windows or applications).

And then, for the new color to be in the texts, one has also to close and re-start the respective applications.

The only things which still change correctly and immediately the color it are the selected elements in the menu bars of Gnome and those within the different applications.
