when a color scheme has Header colors in it, its Titlebar active/inactive colors are ignored, and the Header colors are used to create a unified look for the window's entire header area.

If you don't like this, you have three options:

1. Switch to a color scheme that does not have Header colors (e.g. the old Breeze color scheme, which is still shipped)
2. Remove the Header colors from your current color scheme
3. Create the desired appearance using the Header colors of your current color scheme, by adjusting the Normal/Inactive background colors in the Header section

If you wish to use #2, I'm afraid the procedure is rather annoying since we were not able to write a GUI to remove header colors in time for 5.21. Sorry about that. To do this manually, you will need to save a copy of the color scheme, open it at ~/.local/share/color-schemes/[the color scheme] and remove the "Header" sections, then switch to another color scheme in the Colors KCM and back to your now-header-less custom color scheme.

Hi Nate, that breaks things in weird ways - what do I edit to change the color of 'Colors' and other icons (like in Konsole's toolbar) to white?

Never mind, it was 'Window Text'. But now all my sub-categories are white too.
