I'm trying to theme the window border color. I have a copy of the Mint-X folder in my home directory and I think I have to change one or both of the Metacity XML files. But I'm tripped up by several things.
1. Which XML file should I change? metacity-theme-1.xml or metacity-theme-3.xml?
2. Which part(s) of the XML files should I change?
3. What controls should I change as well?
I tried checking for a topic like this earlier but couldn't find any. If anyone has an answer to my questions, feel free to tell me.

Thank you for the assistance, I appreciate it greatly!
Re: [Solved]Window border theming?
Actually cinnamon uses the metacity-theme-3.xml, so thats the one that you want to modify.austin.texas wrote:For editing window border colors, you would edit metacity-theme-1.xml
