I will report it as a bug. What package should it be
reported against? <br>
<br>
Unfortunately, it appears to be one more step down the
Ubuntu road of taking away customization. So I'm doubtful
anything will come of it. But it means a lot to me, so I
will report it, nevertheless. <br>
<br>
It may well be the end of color customization. <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>
@Aere, Rafael did say the bug was in lubuntu session settings
daemon.<br>

Israel:<br>
<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>
