                            <br>
                            I encountered a problem with Lubuntu 14.04
                            which (to me) is a show-stopper.  I'm sure
                            it isn't as important to others.<br>
                            <br>
                            I have my own peculiar style of customized
                            colors.  One of the main reasons my primary
                            system uses Lubuntu is because of the
                            color-customization, which retains the
                            ease-of-use that was present in Ubuntu
                            11.04.<br>
                            <br>
                            I upgraded a Lubuntu 13.10 system for which
                            the colors worked fine. After the upgrade to
                            14.04, the color customization does not
                            appear in any windows I have tried (and I
                            have tried a lot of them).<br>
                            <br>
                            Even in the window where you change the
                            appearance with custom colors, it shows that
                            it remembers the colors I specified, but the
                            specified colors are not used in the window
                            in which I specify them.<br>
                            <br>
                            It appears that color-customization can be
                            done in the preferences settings, but the
                            color customization you specify is
                            universally ignored.<br>
                            <br>
                            Does anyone have any idea of how to make
                            color-customization work in Lubuntu 14.04?<span><font color="#888888"><br>

        Of course you can always make your own theme, so it will never
        be dead.  I have made a few themes for the WM, and the panel is
        still customizable fortunately.<br>

      Israel:<br>

      Is there something in the repository you install to build your own
      theme?  If so, what is the package name I should use (or
      search-for)?  <br>
      <br>
      Using Synaptic Package Manager, searching for 'lubuntu', I do not
      see anything that resembles "lubuntu session settings daemon".  Do
      you know what the package name is for it?  <br>

    Aere, it depends on what kind of theme you are making.  If you want
    the widgets (buttons, progress bars etc...) that is GTK, which I
    don't know a whole lot about.<br>
    If you are talking about window borders, etc.. that is openbox. 
    Openbox themes are simple xml files, that you can edit by hand (or
    programatically if you fancy).<br>
    <br>
    Before you go downloading Geany for some Openbox fun try out:<br>
    <a href="http://box-look.org/" target="_blank">http://box-look.org/</a><br>
    <br>
    You can also browse for GTK themes:<br>
    <a href="http://xfce-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=100" target="_blank">http://xfce-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=100</a><br>
    (If I remember Lubuntu might support GTK3 also... but I don't know
    for 100% sure off the top of my head)<br>
    <br>
    I hope this helps  <br>
    <br>
    <br>
    I think the package with the issue is related to the lxsession
    package.... but Rafael, or one of the developers may have a better
    idea what part is actually the problem.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
