themes
As you can see in the snapshot below I've made quite a few changes in the Radiance theme, from dusty brown to silver, Alice Blue tool-tip background, among other changes (by editing some files in /usr/share/themes/Radiance/*). But I couldn't manage to change the window decorator colour. How can I change that (preferably by editing the configuration files)?
Almost all fixed but the Chromium Web Browser's tab bar! Ideas?!
Want to edit the desktop colors? No graphic way to do it in Ubuntu 11.10/12.04.
gksudo gedit /usr/share/themes/Ambiance/gtk-2.0/gtkrcselected_bg_color. Feel free to change the other colors using HTML colors.This should set the background color for Chrome/Chromium.
There are other methods, how to resize window, when the default method is broken.
Right click on top panel and choose "Resize". Then resize window how you want.
The second better method is keyboard shortcut Alt + Middle mouse button (wheel).
Hold down the Alt key and press and hold the middle mouse button.
I think that the second method is more comfortable then resizing through the window edges.

It was that I missed to make some edits in the files
/usr/share/themes/Radiance/gtk-2.0/gtkrcand/usr/share/themes/Radiance/metacity-1/metacity-theme-1.xml; which I edited to specify the colours that I wanted for the windows decorator. (But still unable to fix the colour of tab-bar of the Chromium browser.)Altogether I've made changes in the files:
/usr/share/themes/Radiance/gtk-2.0/gtkrc,/usr/share/themes/Radiance/gtk-3.0/gtk.css,/usr/share/themes/Radiance/gtk-3.0/settings.ini,/usr/share/themes/Radiance/metacity-1/metacity-theme-1.xml, and/usr/share/themes/Radiance/gtk-2.0/apps/chromium.rcHere's a snapshot of my custom colour palette which includes most of the changes that I made in the colour values in the files mentioned above:
This is what my Ubuntu desktop with the modified Radiance theme looks like:
Edit: "...all fixed but the Chromium Web Browser's tab bar!" [solved]
To modify ChromeGtkFrame (which I referred to as Chromium Web Browser's tab bar) colour changes had to be made in the
/usr/share/themes/Radiance/gtk-2.0/apps/chromium.rcfile; where I used the colour value#e2e2e2. Here's what Chromium window now looks like:Courtesies to the helpful comments/answers from vasa1 for getting the problem is fixed.
