Technically they don't alter the window background color, just the background color of the "tools area" consisting of the titlebar, menubar, and any full-width toolbars. You're saying that you want to keep this, but also make just the titlebar even more different for active vs inactive windows? If so, why not just use a non-header-color color scheme? Sorry for that very unclear bug report. What I meant was that it would be nice if active/inactive titlebar TEXT colors were "obeyed" when header colors are used. And yes, I meant the toolbar area, not the window background. The desired effect I have in mind is that the active window uses, say, black titlebar text and inactive ones use something lighter, such as gray, to better emphasize that they are inactive. Can you not use active/inactive titlebar colors for the Header group for this? Oh, I see. There are no active/inactive Header group titlebar colors. Seems reasonable. AFAIK all colours in the header work with the inactive variant. In a colour scheme file, it looks like this. [Colors:Header] BackgroundAlternate=234,234,235 BackgroundNormal=234,234,235 DecorationFocus=61,174,233 DecorationHover=147,206,233 ForegroundActive=61,174,233 ForegroundInactive=127,140,141 ForegroundLink=41,128,185 ForegroundNegative=218,68,83 ForegroundNeutral=246,116,0 ForegroundNormal=35,38,39 ForegroundPositive=39,174,96 ForegroundVisited=127,140,141 [Colors:Header][Inactive] BackgroundAlternate=208,208,210 BackgroundNormal=208,208,210 DecorationFocus=24,152,220 DecorationHover=149,207,233 ForegroundActive=24,152,220 ForegroundInactive=103,115,116 ForegroundLink=31,98,142 ForegroundNegative=196,39,54 ForegroundNeutral=246,116,0 ForegroundNormal=85,91,94 ForegroundPositive=39,174,96 ForegroundVisited=127,140,141 BackgroundNormal is what becomes the toolbar/titlebar colour and the ForegroundNormal is what becomes the text colour of toolbar/titlebar. Michael wants to be able to color the titlebar text independently of the rest of the text, though. Ah, I see. The reason I requested this is that: 1. at the moment, titlebar text colors are exposed in the GUI so it would make sense to observe them regardless of whether header colors are active; 2. not all elements in the tools area get the inactive ForegroundNormal color, making inactive windows look strange (see attached screenshot) But maybe it makes more sense to do something about the above without satisfying this feature request.

I find it very difficult to distinguish active from inactive windows when using the dark theme (see attachment). This is especially true on laptop screens with some sunlight shining on them. Thus, I would llke to change the windows active titlebar text to orange or something similar. Howewer, I would like to keep the rest off the appearance of the window.
