4.4 default look

[samuel verstraete]

and yes you're confused... or just ignorant...
the title bar is defined by the gtk theme...
somewhere in gtkrc you will find:

style "titlebar" = "default"
{
    bg[SELECTED]      = "#6C6D6E"
    fg[SELECTED]      = "#ffffff"
    bg[INSENSITIVE]   = "#e6e8ea"
    fg[INSENSITIVE]   = "#9ea6b2"
}
