Customize Colors Missing

Hi.

I noticed that in 16.10 under appearance/customize the “colors” tab is no longer.
Why? This was a very handy option.

It’s missing in the GTK3 toolkit. Ubuntu MATE 16.10 uses GTK3 instead of GTK2 for the MATE desktop.

I see, thanks for the answer.
It’s too bad, changing the colors of the windows interior made a difference.

Yes, the way it was done in GTK+2 simply doesn’t function in GTK+3 anymore. So we had to disable the Colors tab in GTK+3 build. If somebody comes up with a way to change colors for GTK+3 build, we’d appreciate a pull request.

For reference - upstream bug report on that:
