Bug Description

After install of Ubuntu MATE 22.04, the mate-themes package is not installed.

The themes that are installed are named Yaru-something. It's hard to see which
window is the active one.

After installing the mate-themes package, I can choose a non-Yaru theme, so the
active window can be seen easily.

alkisg on @libera/#ubuntu-mate shared this solution:

you can manually modify the titlebar color by opening

/usr/share/themes/Yaru/metacity-1/metacity-theme-1.xml

and changing line 12 to

I<constant name="C_titlebar" value="#cccccc" />

The fix had an an extra I in the beginning, so it should be:

<constant name="C_titlebar" value="#cccccc" />
